Sometimes, all you need is for one person to believe in your potential in order to turn your whole world around.  Before Arzo moved in with Jayna, the odds were stacked against her. A hard upbringing left her unable to see a future for herself. Her family thought she would end up on the streets and even she told her high school principal that in 5 years, she'd likely be selling drugs in a back alley. In this heartwarming story, Jayna outlines what she did to inspire the once troubled teenager to believe in herself and the steps they're taking together to ensure Arzo has a brighter future. We're also taking a minute to celebrate the major win that we, the Besties, achieved together.
