What is your solution?

Hello my name is alayvia I’m from Decatur, Ga my solution to to open a safe place for kids, teens and struggling parents in our population to have somewhere to talk and speak freely as they choose to not feel judged because I didn’t have that comfort growing up in a abusive house hold . My plan is once I have graduated high school in 2022 to spread word of my good doings throughout social media , pod cast and communication with my community. I am not trying to fix or change people lives I am simply trying to give support to those who need a little extra to be a friend to anyone in need via social media or face to face. I plan to have teams stationed throughout the world very soon because not just my community could be if need of my resources. In my opinion money isn’t needed to make a change it can be an asset in a way but not mandatory with my own funding towards my business and possible donations from our community I’d love to flourish my business thank you .
