The Heart Behind Puzzles
I started PUZZLES because I know what it feels like to navigate the world as a 'broken piece.' My own journey through adversity taught me that our cracks are where the light gets in, and that with the right support, every young person can create a masterpiece from their life. I dedicated myself to building this space so that no child feels like they have to put themselves back together alone. We are a family of survivors, creators, and believers, turning every challenge into a workshop for growth.
