Ellie’s story
When Ellie* reached out to Advocates’ Youth/Young Adult Housing Program, she was experiencing the dark trauma of her mom’s death and the lack of local family support. She was in high school, attending classes and working while trying to continue living alone in her mother’s home.
After finding stable housing through Advocates, she graduated on time with honors and maintained employment while obtaining college scholarships. At Kennesaw State University she was accepted to the CARES program that provides year-round housing for students in need.
She is passing all her classes, living in housing on-campus, joining the school’s barbell team and running for senator of the college for construction and agriculture.
Ellie has a bright future and is deeply grateful to Advocates for allowing her to achieve ambitious goals. Her life is transformed.
