I am Stacey

I am Stacey.
I am 5, a tiny, neglected and lonely little girl.
I am 10, now an angry and emotional lost cause.
I am 13, a bruised and battered girl seeking a way to escape.
I am 16, finding love and a new beginning.
I am 18, homeless and pregnant with my first baby.
I am 23, a mother hoping desperately to give my children the life I didn't get to have.
This is my story.
