Darla’s Story: From Struggle to Strength

Darla’s life was off course, spiraling in a direction no teenager should have to face. After a series of poor decisions and tough breaks, she found herself in jail, her future uncertain. But thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, Darla’s story didn’t end there—it became a story of hope, transformation, and resilience.

With your support, we were able to step in at just the right moment. Through the programs funded by the Community Impact Fund, we helped Darla transition from juvenile detention into critical services. With a structured plan and encouragement, Darla met all her probation requirements, found a safe home, and began to rebuild her life.

A pivotal part of Darla’s journey was her time at camp. Through working with Resilience Behavioral Health and building meaningful relationships with our staff and volunteers, Darla experienced a profound shift. Camp became a place where she could heal, grow, and feel truly seen. Surrounded by love, acceptance, and encouragement, she began to build her confidence and find purpose.

The experience at camp didn’t just change her outlook—it set her on a new path. Last summer, Darla returned as a leader, reading to younger kids and serving as a buddy for those who needed extra encouragement. While she continues to face challenges and has more growth ahead, her time at camp and ongoing support through our programs have given her the tools to keep moving forward.

Darla is on a good path now, but the journey isn’t over. She’s back in school and doing well, but like so many youth in our care, she still needs guidance, encouragement, and resources to stay on track. Your support ensures she can continue receiving these critical services and opportunities to grow.

Your gifts to the camps and clubs through the Community Impact Fund make stories like Darla’s possible. They provide access to the life-changing power of camp, essential services, and relationships that make all the difference. Darla’s journey is a testament to what’s possible when a community comes together to invest in its youth.

Will you continue to stand with Darla and others like her? By supporting our camps and clubs through the Community Impact Fund, you’re helping ensure that more youth can experience hope, healing, and the opportunity to thrive—even as they navigate their ongoing journeys. Together, we are building stronger families and communities, one life at a time.
