AKT Foundation success story of the week!
Candice always tried to keep things calm, but she was in an abusive relationship with an alcoholic. One night this man snapped and tried to kill her. Their 9 year old son stopped his father from killing his mother that night. Thankfully, Candice & 3 children got out alive. It destroyed her self worth and she was homeless for a little while. Years ago when she was still homeless, AKT had a fashion show, giving professional makeovers gifts, clothing, awards, empowerment and hope to women who were currently homeless. Candice notes this moment as the turning point in her life.
She has a new outlook in life, and now she helps run her own homeless toiletries initiative that she stared after being inspired by AKT.
Her story, pictures of her in the fashion show, and her toiletries collection are shown below. (Trigger Warning - Domestic Violence)
