Episode #22 - Giselle

In Episode 22 of The Dr. Lois Lee Show, Giselle shares her story of perseverance, health challenges, and the kind of long-term support that changes lives.

Giselle participated in last year’s Children of the Night graduation — a milestone that marked not just academic progress, but years of resilience. Today, she is facing renal failure and is waiting for a kidney donor. During dialysis treatments, Children of the Night flew case managers out to be with her — a reminder that support does not end after a program is completed.

In this conversation, Giselle speaks candidly about what many people misunderstand: recovery from exploitation does not happen in 14 days. Healing is not a short-term intervention. Survivors need consistent guidance, advocacy, and sometimes lifelong support to rebuild stability and confidence.

Despite her health challenges, Giselle is determined to complete her education and pursue work in the medical field — inspired in part by her own experiences navigating the healthcare system.

This episode underscores a core belief of Children of the Night: rescue is the beginning. Long-term care, education, and presence are what sustain hope and create lasting change.
