YOUTH WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE

“Many times when we were homeless I was pregnant and people treated us like trash. They didn’t view us a human beings, even our shelters wouldn’t help us and ignore our pleas for help. There were many nights we had to sleep in piles of snow because the only youth shelters we knew and was told or given any information about did not allow us to come back. And other shelters were not able to take us in because I was not 21 I was only 18. I believe more youth services should be offered as many times we found our selves helpless.”
