Fellow Community Blogger, Desire Grover was there and made THIS REPORT and the following comments.
...most of the time, money is not the big problem for at risk youth. Usually, what is lacking is their need for a safe place to live. You can have all the money in the world but if you come home to drunkenness, sexual abuse, verbal abuse, depression and out right gun violence your chances of rising above it all becomes slimmer and slimmer. And not at any fault of your own. The saddest stories to me is when a good child comes from a bad home only to have their lives snuffed out by gun violence, rape or drug use. So when we talk about poverty let's consider which side of poverty we are referring to or at least try to make a distinction.
