Cassie
Cassie was abandoned as a baby. Unwanted, she traveled between a series of abusive foster homes before she was finally adopted. But instead of cherishing their new daughter, Cassie’s family caused even deeper wounds. They abused her, even selling her from their own home. The trauma forced Cassie to retreat deep into her own mind, leading to a severe mental illness. Cassie felt sure she was far too broken to ever find healing. That was three years ago. Today, Cassie can be found on a forty-acre farm in Northern Michigan, pursuing the path to healing, restoration, and renewal. Here our partners are helping Cassie put back together the broken pieces. Through counseling, education, and life skills training, Cassie is finding wholeness and renewal. Here she continues to learn that she is capable, beautiful, and, most importantly, made new.
