Camping Equipment for Kelly who loves nature

Posted Mar 28, 2025
Kelly is requesting a backpacking backpack, sleeping bag, camp stove, and a set of dishes to fully participate in the outdoor adventures offered by her Leaders in Training program. Having her own gear will empower her to engage more actively in the program, allowing her to connect with her peers and develop her leadership skills in a natural setting. Being able to cook her own meals, stay comfortably outdoors, and have the right tools for her trips will enhance her experience, fostering a sense of independence and self-sufficiency. With these items, Kelly can continue her healing journey, build confidence, and create lasting memories in a supportive environment that encourages personal growth. Your support will help Kelly take this important step toward recovery and leadership, enabling her to experience the outdoors in a transformative and empowering way.

Kelly is 17 years old and lives in TN

Kelly is a shy and reserved teenager who often keeps her thoughts to herself. However, when she does express herself, her intelligence shines through, revealing her deep and reflective mind. Kelly has a passion for philosophy and reading, which enables her to explore the world in a unique way. She has faced significant trauma in her life, including abuse from someone she trusted, which has left a lasting impact. Nevertheless, Kelly is on a healing journey. Through her participation in the Leaders in Training (LIT) program with the HOPE Initiative, Kelly has been building her confidence, learning to form healthy relationships, and becoming more self-aware. The program’s outdoor experiences are essential for her growth, helping her step outside her comfort zone and explore her potential.
