Challenge

If Alicia's husband deports her she will have no access to Samantha and she will be raised by the housemaid in Morocco. Alicia has always been Samantha's primary caretaker. Alicia is afraid of her husband's anger. Samantha is already afraid of her daddy. She pretends she is a princess and a prince will come take her away to a happy place.

Solution

We will be able to get Alicia and Samantha to a happy place in the USA with Alicia's family.

Long-Term Impact

The project serves 500 women per year empowering them to find alternatives to a life of violence so their children grow up in violence free homes with their self-esteem in tact with the hope of stopping the cycle of violence in future generations.
