Covenant House Vancouver

"I'm sorry it has taken me so long to let you know that I made it home all right. I'm happy to be home with my grandparents. I wanted to thank everyone who helped me out. I couldn't of done it without your help. I'm going to school again and hope to finish my grade 12 next year. It's hard work but I think I can handle it."

"I would like to thank all of the Covenant House staff for their concern for street youth and the young people that are in need of direction. When I was in need of a friend or people who cared you were there for me and I really appreciate that sincerely."

"The staff is great. They make you feel safe and feel wanted. If you need anything they are there through thick and thin."

"Hey guys! I just wanna say how thankful I am to be taken care of throughout this week. I really appreciate what all the staff have done with me, as well as the kids, they treated me with great respect, they made me feel welcome."

"I don't know if you'll remember me, but I stayed at Covenant House a few years ago. Like too many other youth, I too had a problem with cocaine and heroine and while with you, was dealing with trafficking charges - I just wanted to let you know that I've been clean for 4 years and own my own business. My business is very successful and I'm living very comfortably and in good spirit. I now have a beautiful 2 yr. old son who is as much a blessing as you were."

"At a time when I was being consumed by bad mistakes and judgment calls, you took me in and gave me the chance that I wasn't able to give myself. For that I am eternally grateful and forever in debt to you all. Your heart and desire to make a change in this world has helped so many of us tread through the most difficult times of our lives. You've shown us that we have the strength to conquer the world if we want it bad enough and that gift is something that only a chosen few are blessed with."

"Please keep up the good work, as so many still need you."
