Asian Women's Shelter

Evelyn is young, but her spirit is wise and resilient beyond her years. She survived a long period of domestic violence alongside her mother and little brother, and despite everything she’s been through, she continues to find joy in life’s small, beautiful moments. She adores her family, especially her little brother and her incredibly strong mom. Every Sunday morning, Evelyn lovingly draws the flowers her mom loves most and gifts them to her as a quiet reminder of their strength, love, and healing. Evelyn's heart is full of hope, and she’s determined to grow something beautiful from everything she’s endured.

Evelyn is a hardworking student who juggles school and extracurriculars, along with a long commute home. Her phone is vital for staying connected and safe, but it's been dying before she gets home lately. She wishes for a portable charger that will keep her phone charged and allow her to stay in touch with her family when needed.
