While spending the holidays with my loved ones this last week, I’ve been reflecting on our incredible Beauty Within~Teen Esteem family. And as we look toward the new year, I can’t help thinking about how much can be achieved when a community of passionate and courageous people like you band together to save and improve lives. 4 years ago, when I founded Beauty Within~Teen Esteem, I chose the word "Esteem" to stand for the power of what we accomplish together. Because when we all stand together, we move mountains. 2014 is proof of that. Thanks to supporters like you, in the past year we’ve worked to tackle some of the toughest challenges facing our children: childhood poverty, neighborhood revitalization, high-quality early childhood programs, high-quality affordable child care and stamping out widespread hunger. The scale of humanitarian need is truly staggering. And with your help, Beauty Within~Teen Esteem is on the ground to alleviate suffering for so many in crisis. We cannot let them lose their dignity as well.
Give Now to Change Lives
Together, we bring lifesaving food to hungry families, deliver school supplies to refugees in nearly inaccessible locations, and bring smiles to people who have lost everything to disaster — keeping their hope alive for a more stable future.
There are no easy or fast fixes to the issues we confront. But there’s me and there’s you — and the strength of the human spirit in the communities we work with every single day. Your support of Beauty Within~Teen Esteem makes real change possible.
Together, Beauty Within~Teen Esteem will continue to build a better world in the year to come.
