Crystal R. Durham is a wife, the mother of 10 adult children, and has adopted four of her sister's children. She pastored with her husband, where she spoke into the lives of many families. Crystal also served in the Youth Ministry for almost a decade before starting her Christian-based home daycare. Not only did she tend to toddlers and grade school children, but it was also then, in 2002, when she first opened her home to troubled teens.
Over the years, Crystal has guided countless youth from helpless to Day hopeful mindsets through sheer unconditional love.
As a little girl, she, too, experienced the pain of many youths today. By the age of 28, she had been kidnapped, molested, raped, verbally/physically abused, homeless, and diagnosed alcoholic. Through these firsthand experiences, Crystal has learned that if God brought her out of a bad situation after the next, He could do the same for every youth who wants it.
Crystal is a serial entrepreneur, Founder of Ninety Days of Love Crisis Center, Inc. for Aged Out Foster Care Youth; 90 Day Housing, LLC, for women coming out of prison; and Crystal R Durham Enterprise LLC, for those who have a passion for starting, structure, file their 5013c nonprofit.

KIDS Mentorship Program for girls ages 5 to 15 years old and 18 to 24, in which she empowers them to believe, achieve, and dream about themselves.
To become self-sustaining, she has aided youth and families living in extended-stay motels in DeKalb County. And she helps other nonprofits to build successful, debt-free organizations.
As a Community Leader for Old Navy, she aids the nonprofit organization in receiving grants. She knows firsthand the troubles youth encounter, and she desires to mentor or helps prevent youth from continuing living in their trauma. Her strong desire is for every child to know True Love "HeKnows."
