ABOUT US

Our Success Stories
We are often asked how we define success.
When a child receives support from StreetLightUSA, her plan of care is tailored specifically to her circumstances and needs.
Success looks different for each child.
-
A young girl smiling again - showing a glimmer of happiness, trust, or hope
-
A child realizing the life she perceived as normal was not
-
A girl finishing school and continuing on to higher education
-
An independent young woman making a positive impact around her
​
Our most frequent reward is knowing a seed was planted as we watch a girl's demeanor go from hopeless to hopeful, see signs of trust or a desire for change.
​
These are our success stories - planted seeds and big wins.

"Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you.
Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls."
MATTHEW 11:28
Our mission is anchored in a Christ-driven desire to shine light, show love, and encourage these special girls as they walk the path of healing, combined with our awareness of and experience with the complex trauma-informed care they require.
Our aim is to help each and every girl find her true purpose in life, whether we plant a seed or walk alongside her into adulthood.
