Volunteers are helping turn the South Dallas home into a beautiful place for young women who've endured some ugly moments in life.
The vision of a residential home for girls who've experienced trauma is just about complete. It will be a first in South Dallas. It’s the vision of Renee White, and it’s called Eden’s Place.
"We're servicing girls 13 to 17 years of age who have gone through very traumatic situations from physical abuse to emotional abuse and sex trafficking," White said. "I knew that there was some young lady like myself who'd gone through something who needed some help."It’s a vision that Waxahachie Lowe's Store Manager Sam Gonzalez saw and came alongside.
As many as 400 children in the foster system have no safe place to stay. One North Texas woman who experienced her own childhood trauma is hoping to make a difference by opening a foster home for girls in Southern Dallas. FOX 4’s Shaun Rabb learns more about Eden's Place in this week's Here & Now. "This is a great project. We actually heard of it through the news, actually," said Sam Kang with the Charles Schwab Community Ambassador Program. "And when she made a call out for help and assistance, our Schwab volunteers were ready to help up, stand up and really assist with everything.
