Cherry’s early life was marked by loss, poverty, and exploitation, including being trafficked as a child. For years she endured abuse and fear, trapped in cycles she couldn’t escape. Everything changed when she found Eden’s Drop-in Center, where dignity, care, and skills like sewing sparked hope. Joining Eden’s Microgreens Project gave her purpose, confidence, and a sense of belonging. Today, Cherry nurtures both plants and her own future, transforming trauma into growth.

“This new chapter is full of light, and for the first time, I’m excited to see what comes next.” – Cherry
