There is still Hope for those leaving polygamy
Honestly, people, do you really think that happiness and
fulfillment in life lies in such things as haircuts, manicures, and
makeup lessons ? Is that how far our society has come, a society that
calls itself a "nation under God" ? I do have to wonder which god
indeed, for it is certainly not the God of the bible, the God of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Anyway, here is the story:
"ST. GEORGE - Those leaving polygamous communities, by choice or not, find themselves with little resources at their disposal and not knowing where to go for help.
Many have little formal education and no money, family or friends they can turn to for help.
One of the organizations that steps up to the plate to help these people is the Hope Organization. Incorporated in 2004, the nonprofit group run by volunteers does whatever it can to help by providing mental, physical, emotional and financial help.
Elaine Tyler, who runs the organization, said it's often a slow process helping primarily women and children who leave polygamous communities. (...)
The organization received a grant this year from the United Way, which was used for makeovers on 12 ladies receiving help through the organization.
The women received haircuts, manicures, makeup lessons and photographs."
Full story.
