The story of Sarah Moore is nothing short of cinematic — a troubled youth turned triumphant entrepreneur. Moore’s tale is a testament to the power of resilience, the kindness of strangers, and the indomitable spirit of human potential.

The Early Struggles

Growing up as one of three siblings, Sarah’s early life was marred by instability.

With absent parents and a childhood spent bouncing between homes, her future seemed bleak. Sarah was the rebel, problem child, nobody wanted to invest in.

But, in the midst of chaos, two families saw her not for the liability she appeared to be but for the potential she held within.

The Brackens and the Greens: Angels in Disguise

Meanwhile, the Greens, frequent patrons at the diner where Sarah worked, offered to finance her education, sensing her potential and willingness to change.
