This is for those who won’t stay stuck in the same old story, who believe things can get better, and who choose faith over fear to move forward.
For those ready to break out of the vicious cycle.
Maybe you’re the first in your family to go to trade school.
Or maybe you’re the first to finish college.
Maybe you’re the first to write a book.
Maybe you’re the first to champion inclusion in your community.
Maybe you’re taking care of yourself and your siblings.
Or maybe you’re working to build a home for your parents.
Maybe you’re the first in your family to have a job.
With what you’ve achieved, you’re changing your loved ones’ story, one small step and one act of support at a time.
I see you.
Some days you feel exhausted and want to quit, but you keep going because stopping would mean the cycle repeats.
You put your energy and effort into supporting yourself and building up others too.
You’re changing your family’s story and how it’s told.
It’s a story about what’s possible.
Here’s your reminder to keep going and keep believing.
One day, someone in your family—children, siblings, or even your whole community—will have a better life because of the sacrifices you’re making now.
God is in your story.
