Serendipity


 This is a heartwarming story I read in the newspaper recently.  'Youth without shelter' charity needed 3 million dollars to finalize a deal on a property to house youth at risk. Last minute funding came in from the city just in time in what the charity is calling 'serendipity'.  They had all but given up hope.

Wow...that is great. It really bothers me the amount of homeless folks out there these days, not just the youth.

So great to hear. I know many towns and cities need more places like this for the youth at risk.

Awesome! I wish that billionaire who wants to buy out Twitter would think about doing more things like this..instead.

Such good news! Here they are still bickering where they want to put a youth detention center in our inner city.

It's bothersome when there's more empty houses than homeless people

So glad they got funding. So many people in need and people often assume kids, teens etc have some place to go. Sadly, often they don't. A HS friend of mine worked for such an agency, truly a calling. Thanks for the share.

What a godsend. I just hope the young people appreciate it and don't try to rip the facility off. I'm not cynical, I just know what happens when one bad teen has the power to influence other vulnerable teens. I've worked with both in the past at a facility where I volunteered.
