A truly inspiring message from Take the Next Step:

"This is a special donation with a story behind it...
We met Samantha Moore nearly 15 years ago as a teen mom. The Resource Center had not been open long when we met her and a few of her other friends who were also teen moms and expecting moms.
This was the beginning of our Growing Together teen mom support program. It's because of Sam and her friends, that we learned how isolating being a teen mom can be- no longer feeling like you identify with your friends from school, but also feeling like you're looked down on by other moms- they needed a place!
And over a decade later, we're still serving teen moms!!
So what a privilege it was, when Sam came to us wanting to raise money through her real estate business Moore Properties - Marketplace Sotheby's International Realty
And here she is with her check for $500!!
Thank you Sam and Moore Properties for thinking of Next Step and our community when deciding how to give back!"

And thank YOU Take The Next Step for all you do for our community!
