Providing Teens With Quality and Proper Fitting Bras

Not only has our Program enrollment grown in 2019, but thanks to the generosity of so many in our community, we were able to add the gifting of brand new undergarments to every girl we served this year. Undergarments are a need few think about, but are so important! Before we were able to include this as a part of our services, we were noticing young women coming in with bras being held together with twisty-ties, if they had appropriate undergarments at all. What the undergarments have added to our program can’t be overly emphasized. To be able to see the girls we serve be comfortable in appropriate fitting clothing from their undergarments to their outer garments has been an incredible gift. And now when the girls come back to see us, we are noticing that they are wearing the same undergarments they were gifted with on their previous visit - and they are thrilled to receive another set! We believe every woman should have the privilege of owning brand new, appropriate fitting bras and panties.

The Morning Cruise with the JoyFM was a champion for our Top Buttons Undergarments Campaign in 2019. We are so grateful for their support and your donation which enabled us to provide this unique and greatly needed resource to young women! With the money raised in December of 2019, we have purchased bras for every young woman who has participated in our Wearing Confidence Program.

Now that we are nearing the end of 2019, we are looking to fund our Top Buttons Undergarment Project once again. We are ecstatic to share with you about our partnership with Soma Intimates. It’s a National Undergarment Company based out of Ft. Myers. They have partnered with us to provide their high quality bras and underwear at a discounted rate to serve the girls of our Wearing Confidence Program. We love Soma because their pieces are beautiful, but not hyper-sexualized….our girls not only feel pretty, but comfortable in being themselves. They also specialize in larger sizing, which is a huge need! Through this partnership we are able to keep the cost of our undergarments project at $40 per girl while still offering a very high quality brand to our girls!

Our goal for 2020 is to once again provide this resource to at-least 300 young women who participate in our Wearing Confidence Program. The girls we serve are truly blessed, and at times emotional, as they receive their undergarments. It is such an essential piece to our Program and no other organization in Central, FL offers a similar resource for at risk young women.

With a 1x donation of $40 from each donor who gave in 2019, we can fund this project once again.

Thank you for your continued support! We are so grateful for what God has done and we are excited and expectant for what He will continue to do.
