Imagine growing up in foster care, not for a moment but for your entire childhood, learning early that nothing is truly yours and no one is guaranteed to stay. You move through life without a steady place to land, without a voice reminding you that you are safe, supported, and known.
Then one day, you turn eighteen, and everything stops. No roadmap, no foundation, no one walking beside you to help you figure out what comes next. And somewhere in the middle of that uncertainty, you become a mom, trying to build a life for your child that you’ve never fully experienced yourself.
That was the reality for one of the young women connected to this story, who had been supported through FaithBridge Foster Care, taking courageous steps forward, only to find herself asking the same question so many face… where do I go now?
That is where Serenade Heights steps in.
The woman you see here is Sheri. She would never ask for recognition, but she is part of the reason this kind of transformation is possible. Alongside her best friend, she shows up consistently, walking with these moms not just through a program, but through life.
Mentorship is only one piece of what Serenade Heights, Inc. provides. Through mentorship, housing support, life skills, and real, consistent community, they are helping these women rebuild their lives and create something different for their children.
At The Highlight Reel ATL, we feel a deep responsibility to tell stories like this. Stories of mission, of impact, and of people who quietly change lives every single day.
Because when everything in your life has taught you that people leave, having someone choose to stay can change the direction of a life… and the generations that follow.
