Anna - Story from Youth Homes

Anna's Story of Success

Anna arrived at our Shelter Home when she was just 15 after her ties to family had been severed. She came with only a few belongings—and a profound absence of the care and support every young person deserves. Over the next several years, Anna moved through multiple programs in hopes of finding stability and a path forward. When unexpected challenges and personal struggles arose, she returned to our care, connecting with our Transitional Living Program (TLS). Our TLS worker supported Anna as she graduated high school, trained to become a CNA, found employment, and secured her first apartment. Today, Anna and her dog, Jet, are building a life she once could not imagine—one marked by meaningful work, giving back to others, and the simple, powerful gift of having a place to call home.
