“When I was 17 my adopted mom kicked me out because the checks stopped coming from the government. I was on the streets, and I wound up getting pregnant. So I came here—to Covenant House. Before I came to Covenant House, I didn’t have a support system or people that cared. I started seeing that they were genuinely trying to help. They want you to do your best and they want you to strive to go for your goals. Like if you didn’t finish school, to finish school, to go to college, to just be who you want to be in your life.”
