New Jersey house community college

My mom worked hard for over 25 years as a hairstylist, and everything was fine, Queen remembers. We lived in a nice apartment and always got by. But then my mom had some health issues. And before we knew it, we could not afford our apartment anymore.The absolute worst day, says Queen, was the day I went to my college counselor to tell him I had to drop the five classes I had left to graduate. I just didnt see any way I could continue going to school with everything falling apart.But on what she thought was going to be her worst day, a counselor at her community college gave her a list of other possibilities. Highlighted on the top of the list was Covenant House.That was the day that changed my life, she says now. That was the day that hope came back.Queen moved in with us at Covenant House in New Jersey and became a bright light in the life of every staff person, volunteer, and resident she met. She took advantage of every opportunity, every learning experience, every job training session we offer.I think what Covenant House does best is teach young people like me how to live, she says. It is more than just a place to stay if you are homeless. The staff here really care, they treat you like you are part of a family. They provide non-stop support and tough love when you need a push. They have been here for me through all my setbacks and all my successes. The announcement comes!! Our JESPY House, Inc.
