Stronger Together: Compassion Connection of Texas & Autumn’s Light
Two Missions. One Shared Commitment to Hope.
Compassion Connection of Texas is proud to announce our partnership with Autumn’s Light, a Fort Worth-based nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering young women ages 10–24 through mentorship, education, emotional support, life skills, and practical resources.
Our organizations were founded from different experiences, but we share a common belief: no woman or young person facing a difficult season of life should have to navigate it alone.
About Autumn’s Light
Autumn’s Light was founded in 2024 by April Jones following the heartbreaking loss of her daughter, Autumn, who was tragically killed by a drunk driver.
Out of unimaginable grief came a mission to create something meaningful in Autumn’s memory—a place where young women can feel seen, supported, encouraged, and equipped to build brighter futures.
Today, Autumn’s Light serves young women throughout Fort Worth and the Dallas-Fort Worth area through trauma-informed programs that include:
One-on-one and group mentoring
Life-skills development
Emotional wellness support
Healthy-relationship education
Academic and career guidance
Confidence and communication development
Clothing, hygiene products, and other necessities through the Caring Closet
At the heart of Autumn’s Light is a simple but powerful message: every young woman has value, deserves support, and should have the opportunity to move forward with dignity and hope.
Why We Are Partnering
At Compassion Connection of Texas, our work has always centered on meeting people during some of life's most difficult moments and helping provide the resources, encouragement, and connections they need to move forward.
Our partnership with Autumn’s Light allows our organizations to strengthen that work by sharing resources, supporting one another’s programs and fundraising efforts, increasing community awareness, and connecting individuals and families with the organization best equipped to meet their particular needs.
Rather than working separately toward similar goals, we believe nonprofits can accomplish more when we work together.
When one organization grows stronger, the entire community benefits.
Building a Network of Compassion
Building a Network of Compassion
This partnership is about more than two nonprofit organizations.
It is about creating a stronger network of people who care.
It is about making sure a young woman who needs mentoring has someone to turn to. It is about helping someone experiencing hardship find practical resources. It is about healthy relationships, emotional wellness, dignity, safety, encouragement, and the opportunity for a new beginning.
Most importantly, it is about reminding people that they are not invisible and they are not alone.
Compassion Connection of Texas is honored to stand beside Autumn’s Light as we work together to bring hope, resources, and meaningful support to individuals and families throughout our communities.
