What we're grateful for...
This month, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, we asked our youth what they are thankful for. Here is what they shared...
"I'm thankful that I have people who love me."
"Thankful for friends."
"My family."
"My grandmother."
"Athletic underwear."
"I'm thankful for my friends and family."
"School - I'm a senior!"
"My life."
Here at the Home, we're thankful for all of you who support our mission with your time, talent, and treasure. Thank you for being the village to these youth and investing in their future. Your support makes nurturing care and life-changing services possible for youth and families.

The Joy of a Shoebox
For November's community service project, the residents had conversations with the independent living committee about where they wanted to focus their giving.
With the holidays approaching, they discussed with one another how difficult this time of year can be. One bright spot for some of the youth was receiving a shoebox of gifts for Christmas. They shared this was their first Christmas gift they ever remember receiving.

Youth Homelessness Awareness Month
November is Youth Homelessness Awareness Month, and you can be part of the solution! Educate others that youth homelessness is a problem in our own community and connect youth with help, home, and hope.
Youth who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless stay in the shadows. Unlike the stereotype many hold for "homeless", these youth work to blend in, hiding their true needs from those around them for fear of judgment or to simply protect themselves.
How You Can Help
- Posting flyers around town (Download or reply to this email to request printed copies)
- Sharing the video on your social media
- Inviting a speaker for your group from the Children's Attention Home to learn more

Meet Me at the Crossroads
The Crossroads Program provides safe shelter, opportunities, and resources to youth who do not have reliable housing. These youth lack secure resources needed to transition into adulthood, and through the Crossroads program they receive the guidance and support they need to become successfully and sustainably independent.
“I’d heard about the program and knew I needed a change,” stated Sara*. “I really need this kind of support in my life right now. I appreciate how everyone pushes me to be motivated.”
