Solving youth homelessness through housing, mental health, education, and workforce services.

Finding Her Reason Why

Today's featured story highlights Kiera, a determined mother with big dreams who fought to keep a stable home for herself and her daughter. With rising costs and little support, she was on the verge of losing everything. Through LifeWorks, she found the resources and stability she needed to move forward. Her strength and perseverance helped her build a new path for herself and her daughter.

Redefining Her Path

Today's guest speaker is Serena, who has faced isolation and hardship but never stopped moving forward. After experiencing homelessness in high school, she found community and support, embraced new opportunities, and is continuing to discover herself. Her story is a powerful reminder that while our past shapes us, it doesn’t define us.
