I Support Covenant House Stories of Experiences

I need more information, I know someone who could really benefit from a place like this. I pray it's not to late.

"Running Wild In The Night" is Nikki Sixx's charity, which is Auspiced through Covenant. Sister Tricia's postcards always used to make me smile. I was unable to donate for a time, but next month, I'll start again.

Bless those kids...

What do you do to help kids in your community?

Reading these kids stories is really touching and makes me feel fortunate to be where I am. I mean, can you imaging sleeping in a cold, concrete stairwell (http://www.covenanthouse.org/kids/ana-crisis-care), or in a cemetary ...
