Lala's Story
“Something I would like people to know about youth homelessness is that it's hard and it wears and tears just like a job would. And if you have anything from spare change in your car to old clothes you're going to just simply throw away, just give it to them because anything can help during that time”. -Lala, Wildflyer Graduate

Venus's Story
