Give $20 on Feb 20th to support youth

Kanicka and Jaylin were not enthused about school or their future. Kanicka was missing school, found it hard to get of bed in the morning and dreaded all of the drama and fighting among her peers that she experienced at school. Jaylin didn't see much point in school. His mother was good in school and graduated with honors, but she was unable to pay the bills, and they were about to be evicted from their home.

Both Kanicka and Jaylin joined one of FACE's youth workshops where they found support, developed positive relationships with peers, had fun and learned about themselves. They developed communication skills, conflict resolution skills, and practiced resiliency tools. Kanicka, who started attending school regularly, said about the group: "We are all so much nicer to each other". Jaylin added, "I want to sign up again next year".

The group facilitators were also able to refer Jaylin's family to FACE's Lifeline program where together with Jaylin's mom, they were able to prevent the family from being evicted. Kanicka's mom joined a parent support group and together they attended several Family Night wellness activities.
