OUR BACKGROUND
A Place For Me was created because of the need for positive role models in the community. I personally had 2 mentors when growing up and the positive role they played had a lot to do with me not going down the wrong path in life. Having a mentor gave me
options, I was able to talk to other women, in additon to family, that I trusted and that I I knew had my best interest at heart. Having a mentor opens the doors for someone to come in and say "YES I CARE" and I am "HERE FOR YOU". When they say it takes a
village to raise a child it truly does. While it is commendable for a parent to be able to say I raised my child without any help, just imagine how wonderful it will feel to say "I did not have to do it alone, I had a community of support" and that is why
I created A Place For Me.
