‘Yea this is the first place I have ever called home.’

While hanging out and coloring in the common space at the female Crisis Program Sarah, Emma and myself were speaking about how their day had gone. Sarah stated ‘It’s funny how I always refer to here as home.’ While Emma replied ‘Yea this is the first place I have ever called home.’ Both youth have come from under-privileged and challenging backgrounds. For most of their life, having a place to call home seemed unreachable, until they arrived at Covenant House Vancouver.
