I Choose To Win is proud to announce the launch of LET HER! — Ladies Enduring Trauma Healing Emotionally Right-Now! — a powerful new initiative designed to walk alongside girls in Philadelphia and Montgomery County who are grieving, processing, and healing after being impacted by gun violence.
LET HER! is more than a program. It’s a pathway to healing.
This free 24-week mentorship program is specifically created for youth girls who are co-survivors of gun violence—those who may not have experienced gun violence directly but have been deeply affected by the trauma, injury, or loss of someone they love. These young women often carry silent grief and unseen wounds. LET HER! offers a space for them to be seen, heard, and supported.
A Journey of Exposure, Exploration, and Healing
Through this transformative experience, mentees will be paired with adult mentors to participate in a journey of self-discovery, restoration, and connection. This journey includes:
- Weekend getaways and retreats
- Virtual and in-person group counseling and coaching
- Healing workshops and activities including:
- Hiking and walking
- Rowing and boating
- Dance and choreography
- Creative expression through art, music, writing, and spoken word
- Reflective journaling
- Hiking and walking
Each activity is intentionally paired with trauma-informed care and supportive guidance, encouraging girls to express themselves, feel their emotions fully, and begin the process of healing in community.

Made Possible by the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, HealthSpark Foundation and Common Bondz
We are honored to share that I Choose To Win has once again been selected as a 2025 violence-prevention grant awardee, receiving $20,000 from the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office. Additionally, I Choose To Win was a recipient of HealthSpark’s 2025 Dr. Frank Boston Black Justice Fund award, receiving a $20,000 grant to nearly close the gap toward the LET HER initiative. In July, another grantmaker, Common Bondz, awarded an additional $3,000, bringing us to a total of $43,000 funds raised for the $50,000 initiative. We will continue to raise funds for this initiative through traditional and creative fundraising activities to reach our goal of fully funding our vision for the LET HER! Mentorship Program.
We are deeply grateful for all of this support and committed to stewarding these resources to bring healing and hope to the next generation.
