founded SAINT SORELLA in the aftermath of a harrowing personal experience. Jasmine is a vibrant high school senior in Southern California. She is a dedicated student and athlete, with roles in the Key Club, Teen Voice, Mock Trial and the National Society of High School Honors and Interact. From a young age Jasmine was driven by a profound sense of justice and compassion. Jasmine has always been sensitive and deeply affected by witnessing the pain and suffering of others. As a small child she'd often want to give food and comfort to any homeless person she encountered. As a middle schooler she volunteered to read books to local children in kindergarten. These small acts of kindness were rooted in a deeper desire to serve and help those around her. Jasmine grew up in a seemingly happy and loving home with her mother, father, brother and sister. In January 2024 her family was shattered with the revelation of sexual abuse Jasmine's sister suffered by their father. This profound betrayal not only destroyed her family and sense of safety, but also highlighted some inadequacies in the support systems available for women and families in crisis. After many hours in rooms dedicated for victims both in the police station & family justice office, Jasmine imagined all the other families that sat in those rooms and felt a profound need to do something for the undoubtably scared and sad children that would sit in those rooms. A soft blanket, a stuffered animal, a coloring book with a new box of crayons could perhaps give a small comfort to a child. SAINT SORELLA was born in the aftermath of personal pain in hopes of being a source of kindness and sisterhood to other victims. Jasmine Messina's SAINT SORELLA represents my commitment to providing the support and resources my family lacked during our darkest times. Through this organization, I strive to ensure that women and families worldwide receive the care, respect, and assistance they deserve. SAINT SORELLA is not just a response to a personal tragedy but a manifestation of my core values: discipline, hard work, honesty, kindness, and an unwavering dedication to making the world a better place. I am proud to lead this initiative and work tirelessly to support and uplift those in need.
