Stacy Morgan is a valued technical assistance consultant who has guided VFFCMH through the complicated process of federal grant reporting. Layla’s Hope was founded in Tennessee a couple of years ago as an outreach mission after her family experienced an unbearable situation in which the need to offer peer support, raise awareness and share resources with other families similarly impacted has inspired us here in VT to do the same…these are her grandchildren - the 4th generation of a family who has brought so much to the family movement…💕

✨ Proud Moment at Layla’s Hope! ✨

Two of our Mini Layla’s Hope Resource Team Members — who also happen to be my grandchildren — have taken it upon themselves to make a difference in their community in the most inspiring way. 💜🦋

Completely on their own, they decided to ask their school if they could give a presentation about Layla’s Hope and the importance of awareness around missing children, runaway youth, and vulnerable young people.

Not only that… they created an entire PowerPoint presentation themselves — full of facts, resources, and ways their peers can help spread hope and stay safe. 📚✨

Their passion, courage, and leadership remind us exactly why Layla’s Hope exists:

💜 to empower young people
💜 to build awareness
💜 to lift up voices
💜 to create safer communities for all

We could not be more proud of them for taking action, standing up for others, and showing that you’re never too young to make a difference. 🦋💪

Let’s cheer them on as they share Hope in Action with their school community!
