WIB- How BridgingHeart Transforms Lives and Builds Futures

Join us as Tina Green, CEO/founder of  BridgingHeart presents! 

Inspired by her journey through the foster care system, Katina
Green established Bridging Heart, a 501 c(3) non-profit organization,
to help young adults newly emancipated from the foster care system-
grow, thrive and find their footing before entering the “real world.”

More specifically, the organization provides shelter, access to
resources including: medical care, counseling, education and career
assistance; and a safe space for young adults to learn how to make
healthy choices, and just breathe while figuring out their next steps.
“Figuring it out shouldn’t have to be a hardship or a struggle.
And unfortunately, that’s what most kids emancipated from the foster
care system face.”

This is the motivating force behind Bridging Heart, and why Katina
decided to establish Bridging Hearts. For her, being emancipated from
foster care, also meant falling prey to sex trafficking, something a
large percentage of girls fall victim to upon leaving the foster care
system, because, like Katina, they have no real direction or guidance,
and are often left vulnerable and more susceptible to the whims of
others who don’t have their best interest at heart.
