TCM Newsroom: Published Articles 

Amber arrived at the Tupelo Children’s Mansion campus angry, and with good reason. Her life had been bombarded with one unfortunate circumstance after another. A fifteen-year-old girl should not have had to deal with the miseries that she was dealing with, but here she was,  facing them still. Her first step onto the TCM campus was not met with an overwhelming sense of hope and peace, as it is for many children that walk through our doors. Her first steps felt heavy with hurt, trudging through tragedy, and painfully aware of the past she endured. Amber was desperate for a change in her life. Who wouldn’t be when your childhood had been filled with abandonment, molestation, and family separation? Amber was desperate for a change, but she thought TCM and the God they talked about was the last place she would find it.
