Struggle Within

Some struggles don't announce themselves

They build quietly - in the choices made, the pain carried, and the silence kept.

From a broken home

Crippled by abuse and addiction, Montana Wilese was forced to grow up rapidly. Often left alone to navigate the roughest streets of Philadelphia, she had to be savvy enough to survive.
