My name is Mya Horne and I am currently a senior in high school. In my English class, we are doing a service project of our choice, so I decided to collect funds for the HAVEN organization of Oakland County. HAVEN is a nonprofit organization based in Pontiac, Michigan. HAVEN offers counseling services, advocates that will help through court processes, support groups, and a forensic nursing program. They also help with personal protection processes. HAVEN is the only 24-hour emergency shelter for domestic violence and sexual assault victims as well as their children.

I plan to go into the criminal justice field in the future, so hopefully, I will personally be able to help victims in my future career, but for now, I hope the funds raised will be able to help.
