Meet Destiny

A story of your impact from Northeast Mississippi Boys and Girls Clubs of North Mississippi, a partner agency of United Way of Northeast Mississippi.
Twelve-year-old Destiny attends the Haven Acres Boys & Girls Club. In 2025, she and her family experienced a tragic loss when their home was destroyed by fire. Despite facing unimaginable challenges, Destiny finished the school year on the honor roll, excelled in softball, maintained great behavior, and kept a positive attitude. Through it all, her Club remained a consistent and comforting part of her life. As the oldest of four siblings, Destiny understands the importance of leadership and good character—values she continues to build through Boys & Girls Club programming. Each day, she plays an active role in Torch Club, a leadership program where she helps staff, assists with sign-ins, passes out snacks, and serves as a voice for other members. United Way of Northeast Mississippi supports the Boys & Girls Clubs of North Mississippi through a funded partnership, and because of donors like you, young leaders like Destiny have a safe space to learn, grow, and thrive.
