Kendyll Hurts Others Before They Can Hurt Her
Kendyll hurts others before they can hurt her. This is what a stressed child does.
Kendyll is angry, lashes out at adults, and often turns to drugs to numb what she’s feeling inside.
Can you imagine? Unfortunately, this is often how children come to Thornwell.
Before arriving at Thornwell, Kendyll – who is only 12 years old – developed harmful and scary ways to cope. It’s because she endured years of prolonged trauma, fear, and uncertainty.
Her life has been anything but fair. Together, we can change that.
A donation from you will ensure that Kendyll is surrounded with the hope, love, and therapeutic care that she desperately needs and that she deserves!
Compassionate gifts to Thornwell can provide a safe, caring home, tutoring, nutritious meals, and necessary therapy tailored to support Kendyll and other children who are suffering. You can help bring healing to a child’s mind, body, and spirit.
Your support tells Kendyll she is not beyond hope.
Kendyll is worthy of love, and through Thornwell, she is provided the tools to fulfill her God-given potential. Because of Thornwell’s support and community, she’s safe and not alone.
I recently sat with Kendyll on the front porch of the family-style cottage she lives in. One of our campus kitties got curious and came up to get a good scratch. For the first time, I saw Kendyll smile – and it was BEAUTIFUL! She told me she wants to be a vet one day. In our line of work, we call that finding the “glimmers of hope.”
Today, you can transform that glimmer of hope into a blazing beam of light with Kendyll, knowing that she is loved and supported. When you step in to help, this child will discover more peace, joy, and an abundant life!
Kendyll can get the help she deserves and desperately needs. You make that possible when you donate.
Because of Thornwell, Kendyll doesn’t have to hurt anymore.
She doesn’t have to hurt others, either.
Because giving NEVER hurts anyone.
Giving is powerful.
Giving will change your life too.
Thank you for being compassionate and committed to supporting healthy futures for children like Kendyll. I am grateful for you!
For children and families,
Reverend Myron W. Wilkins, President and CEO
