I went to their Christmas Dinner last Sunday and my heart was overflowing with compassion for these youth. Imagine being 16 again and having to take care of yourself. Pay rent, buy and prepare your meals and buy your personal needs and cloths. Having to do your own laundry and keep your home clean. If you have any extra this year, please consider helping these kids!
