My Nonprofit Reviews

I was in the home and a confused young man who had lived in 15 different homes in 3 states before arriving at the Ettie Lees in N.Hollywood.
Tell you the truth, I did not take advantage of all the great things they offered, for I was at a point that I wanted to party and sneak out etc.
I had to find out myself the hard way when I awoled the Ettie Lees program and had years of being homeless etc..I now have my own business and I'm a young grandfather of 2 and been married for almost 25 years.
Yes Malcom and Grace old Billy Jack Tony the wild one!

Now with that said ,they gave me all the tools to take advantage of and emancipate myself and have a head start in life and be successful. I tried but didn't like to follow the rules.
They went out of there way to help me on my job quest and to find out what I wanted to do in life , and what it was going to take to do it.
They really help kids get prepared for college and the grants etc and are very heads on.
You lived with kids who come from all walks of life and all kinds of troubles and learned that your not the only ones with troubles and that there are ones with way more things in life faced and you learn that there is no giving up and you need to try to do good and take advantage of what they are offering.

We learned how to cook for all members of the home ,how to shop for the meals we made etc.We would each cook a meal daily for the home.
I will tell you we ate good at Ettie Lees and did lots of fun group functions.
I would not recommend to do what I did and take full advantage and LISTEN to what Ettie Lee counselors are trying to tell you and grasp it and do your best to follow the rules and achieve your goals.
They are a ladder ,you just need to take the proper steps to reach the top.
I wish I would have done it myself as it was a really great home and I had the perfect opportunity to succeed.
I would seriously recommend Ettie Lees for anyone needing help and guidance to become independent with a head start into adulthood.
