Kiki's Hope For Youth Inc

My name is Shirley Raphael I'm in a process  to open an group home for girls. When young girls experience trauma, heartbreak and severe life stressors, it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel before their eyes.  My greatest passion is to bring healing and to nurture their hearts by providing them with a loving and caring environment, where they can heal and grow. Kiki's Hope For Youth is an opportunity for myself and my team to help them find a healthy perception of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can know themselves as peaceful, complete, whole, and Safe.

We offer caring comprehensive, and innovative programs and services for individuals, their families, and their circles or community. Our skills-building workshop and group inspire children and teens to use their voices to be stronger leaders.

The group home will operate twenty - four hours a day, seven days a week. Girls will stay at the group home for as long as they need the care and service. This will be determined by their caseworker.

Kiki's Hope For Youth will be a safe harbor and respite for up twelve girls between the ages of thirteen and eighteen. kiki's Hope For Youth will accept girls referred by schools, police, or parents who may have run away, be at risk of running away, be out of the control of their parents, or struggling with family problems.

The immediate goal of Kiki's Hope For Youth is to provide a cooling-off period for the girls and their parents while avoiding the dangers of life on the streets.
