Covenant House

I read an article the other day that made me really grateful for what I have. It is about Covenant House, an organization that helps homeless children. This particular article focused on the kids that live on the streets of Hollywood. Many of them go to Hollywood looking to score that big break in the world of show business. However, many soon realize it’s not what they thought it would be and find themselves begging for food and a place to sleep every night. The Covenant House has a van that they drive around and hand out sandwiches and water and sometimes clothing to these kids. The article talks about how many of these kids have drug addictions just to get them through the nights so it doesn’t seem as bad as it really is. Most of the kids are said to have arrived in Hollywood with hopes and dreams of becoming models, musicians, actors and actresses, and end up doing things they never thought they would do in order to survive. To read more about these kids, please visit the site above and let us know your thoughts on the situation these kids are in and what Covenant House is doing to help.

Always, is the invitation to come to Covenant House even if it’s just for a meal and a shower. The hope is to get them off the streets before what they’ve experienced obliterates any memory of who they once were.
