IN COLLABORATION WITH BELK RIVERCHASE. THE POSE BAZAAR FOUNDATION’S FASHION SHOW WILL GO TOWARDS HELPING PRESCOTT HOUSE, A CHILD ADVOCACY NONPROFIT. PRESCOTT HOUSE IS GEARED TOWARDS HELPING CHILDREN THAT ARE VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ABUSE OR ARE WITNESSES TO ABUSE BY PROVIDING FREE COUNSELING, ASSISTANCE WITH FORENSIC TESTING, AND PROVIDING OTHER RESOURCES TO HELP THE CHILD AND EVEN THAT CHILD’S FAMILY. IT’S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT IS A LABOR OF LOVE. THOSE CHILDREN NEED EVERYTHING, EVERY RESOURCE THAT THEY CAN IN ORDER TO WORK THROUGH THEIR TRAUMA AND TO HOPEFULLY GET TO THE PLACE OF SUCCESS AND HEALING. RIGHT NOW, PRESCOTT HOUSE IS DEALING WITH THE WAIT LIST AND WITH THE DONATED PROCEEDS FROM THE POSE BAZAAR FOUNDATION’S FASHION SHOW. THE NONPROFIT IS HOPING TO MEET THAT NEED. WE ARE DOING OUR BEST TO KEEP UP WITH THE WAIT LIST AND THAT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE JUST HATE HAVING THAT. SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HELP US HIRE A PART TIME COUNSELOR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT UNTIL WE CAN, YOU KNOW, AFFORD ANOTHER FULL TIME PERSON COLLABORATING WITH PRESCOTT. HOUSE IS SIGNIFICANT FOR THE POSE BAZAAR FOUNDER. IT’S HER WAY OF PROVIDING A RESOURCE SHE WANTS NEEDED FOR SOMEONE ELSE. I AM A SURVIVOR OF CHILD ABUSE, SEXUAL ABUSE, SO I HAVE A. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS PRESCOTT HOUSE. THEY HAVE HELPED PEOPLE THAT I THAT I’M CLOSE WITH. AND JUST TO BE ABLE TO HEAR ABOUT HOW THEY’VE HELPED OTHER PEOPLE, I FELT LIKE I HAVE A PURPOSE TO BE ABLE TO HELP. PRESCOTT HOUSE CONTINUE THEIR MISSION. THIS FASHION SHOW ALSO ALLOWING POSE BAZAAR TO FOCUS ON ITS THEME THIS YEAR, WHICH IS CREATIVITY AND MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS. WHEN IT COMES TO THE CREATIVITY PART. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF CHILDREN LIKE MYSELF, I WASN’T ABLE TO VERBALIZE, BUT I DID DRAW. I DID DANCE IT OUT. I FOUND, I FOUND FREEDOM AND AND HEALING THROUGH THE ARTS. AND I JUST WANT TO, YOU KNOW, WANT US WITH POSES AS OUR FOUNDATION TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES. AND THE JOURNEY IS JUST BEGINNING FOR THOSE OPPORTUNITIES.
