I have never seen homelessness in this light before. Too often, we sit and think about the homeless being simply a tired old man sitting on the side of the road with a cardboard sign and beer nearby. However, being a full-time volunteer here at Covenant House Florida has taught me that homelessness is not just for that stereotype, but that it can affect anyone--including our youth. Youth are our future, and I am thankful to be a part of an organization that is helping homeless and runaway youth to build a better future for themselves. This residential facility has provided shelter to thousands of youth over the years, and I hope that it continues to be around for as long as its needed to fight against the cycle of poverty.
