"Flower" by Danesha, 16 | June 2019

Every day you will get a little stronger no matter what you go through. If I got this, you got this. We will go through this together! The older you get the more you will bloom and enjoy life. This struggle won’t last forever. You only live once. Enjoy the time you have now as you’re growing.

About Danesha: "My name is Danesha. I’m from Lac Du Flambeau WI. I’m Native American. I’ve been away from home for 4 years. My parents both struggle with addiction. I am in an AODA class and working through addiction at Northwest Passage. I also have depression and anxiety, so I have been in and out of foster homes, group homes, academies, and passages. After making some tough choices, my boyfriend and I found out I was pregnant. At first, he was supportive, and then he wasn’t. I started taking better care of myself. Last year on March 24th, 2018, I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl Audrina. I’m trying to better myself to be a better mom."
