A young veteran in her mid 20s had fallen on hard times and was struggling to make ends meet. She had served in the military for 4 years and had been honorably discharged. Since she had no family members to stay with, her only option was to share a place with 6 roommates in an undesirable neighborhood. With no car and little hope, she made it to our Pacific Beach facility and met with one of our caring guidance counselors.
They immediately provided the young woman with the proper resources to get her back on her feet, into a safe place and the encouragement to start a new life.
