Let us introduce ourselves...
"Our mission is to manifest compassion, while respecting the dignity and value of clients, by delivering an array of services to young women and enabling them to return as productive members of their community."
Mary's Angels Independent Living for Young Women was founded in Kingstree, South Carolina in June 2006 with passion and empathy in mind. Our goal is to invest in individuals, helping them to unmask their full potential, so that they can then become independent citizens that give back to society through their newly found wealth of life.
There are so many young women who have become homeless, victims of abuse, or substance abusers.
Instead of just allowing society to deem these young women as "a part of the problem," Mary's Angels decided to become the solution. We want to help young women embark on a journey to overcome their past and struggles so that they can gain the skills and stability necessary to lead healthy lives, and not lives as mere statistics. That is why we have developed a collaborative approach to empowering individuals. |
Our women's only housing will consist of on-site staff dedicated to assisting in whatever needs our clients may have, while maintaining a home-like living environment for comfort, peace of mind, and stability. This environment will aid us in our mission to educate these young ladies on aspects such as social and mental health development, as well as family life skills, while providing therapeutic and recreational services at off-site partner facilities.
Our founder, Juantia Green, recognized a need for more support in aiding our future mothers, sisters, wives, and daughters.
Instead of making excuses and allowing our young women to make excuses for themselves, her goal is to cultivate a sense of accountability and esteem. A core part of accomplishing this is to get to the root of the problem, whatever it may be, as circumstances are different for each and every person. No matter the struggle, Juantia, the staff of Mary's Angels Independent Living, and her trusted board of consultants all have one thing in common - a passion for our youth and the lives that they have the potential to lead. Each and every member involved in our cause not only has this passion, but is also able to make impactful strides due to their experience in mentoring, educating, and guiding individuals towards success and a better life. We strongly stand by the notion that we are our sisters' keepers. It is this unity in self-improvement and development that makes the world a better place. "All things are bound together. All things connect. Whatever happens to the Earth happens to the children of the Earth. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself." - Chief Seattle |
We at Mary's Angels believe that each person has a special purpose, especially our young women, and it is not their past that defines them but, instead, how they overcome their past in order to make way for an extraordinary future.
A home away from home to teach you how to create your own.
