Meet the Young People You Support
By being an angel for homeless youth, you show young people they have someone who believes in them and cares for them. See the stories of just a few Covenant House youth who are being lifted up by your support on their journey home.
Meet Lyric
“I’m not homeless, I would say, because I’ve been staying at the Covenant House, and that feels like home. ” – Lyric
When Lyric was born, his mom was just 13 years old, struggling to care for a baby. As a result, Lyric experienced neglect and instability throughout his childhood. He eventually found ways to survive on the street, but he knew he needed help. Thankfully, Lyric found Covenant House. When he walked in, he felt immediately that he’d be supported and loved. He found people who could care for him how he needed to be.
Meet Marbin
“Before coming to Covenant House, I was losing hope. [But] my life has changed … I have a good job. I’m going to college. Covenant House is like basically a miracle. … I’ll say thank you so much to all the people that believe in us … . ” - Marbin
Marbin was working to get his high school diploma, but his job as a dishwasher at a kitchen didn’t pay enough to cover his rent. He was struggling, but thankfully, he called Covenant House before things got really bad. Despite it being late at night when Marbin arrived, he immediately was given a meal, a room, and a bed. It was the start of something that amazed him.
