Every day, our youth are working hard toward their goals. The community provides half of the Home's budget and resources - our mission would not be possible without you! Here are some of the "wins" made possible last month: |
- Trisha* followed through on her tasks and was able to enroll in the GED program.
- Eliza* is working diligently on her classes at Aspire in hopes of graduating early.
- Destiny* has completed four college applications.
Several of the residents are enrolled in the permit club to help them prepare for the test.
Several of the residents attended a special group focused on healthy relationships. Kenya* got a new job working at a local restaurant.
-
Gabe* and Trisha* have been going to Planet Fitness during the day to exercise.

Your support changes what's possible for these youth. Thank you! |

Oh the places you can go! |
The Children's Attention Home is committed to helping teens and young adults develop successful road maps to achieve healthy independence and sustainable success. Part of the Home's education initiatives is to ensure that youth are exposed to higher education careers and trades. Through college tours and goal setting, two young adults have been able to smoothly transition to the college experience... |

Greatest Showman at the Carolina Chili Championships |
Through the month of October, we were able to attend a number of community events and share about the Home. One of these was the Carolina Chili Championships, where we were fortunate to win the showmanship award of the cook-off! We had a blast sharing Mr. Earl's chili (which had great reviews!) and about ways those attending could get involved with the Home. Special thanks to McClancy and the tournament for the invitation and support!
Throughout the year, our team of ambassadors works to represent the Home throughout the community to educate others about our mission. Interested in becoming an ambassador or know of events where we could share the Home's mission? Email development@attentionhome.org or call 803-328-8871 ext 5981.

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.
Not only can you help by sharing that youth homelessness is a problem in our own community, you can help youth find help, home, and hope! |
