A Place to Belong This Holiday Season

For many children, the holidays stir up more pain than joy. Memories of loss, instability, and broken relationships can make “home” feel complicated or even out of reach.

Mira is one of those children.
After losing her mother at a young age, Mira struggled with grief, isolation, and risky choices as she tried to cope with a loss no child should carry alone. When she came to Cookson Hills, she arrived guarded and unsure, quietly watching and wondering if this place could truly be different.

With patient adults, supportive peers, and a safe home, Mira began to take small steps toward healing. Now, she’s choosing to be vulnerable, to trust others, and to let her new family in as she continues to grow. For the first time in years, she feels safe enough to let herself be seen and loved.
