Angel’s journey with StandUp for Kids began about a year ago, and his story is one of resilience, determination, and growth. When Angel first connected with us, he was already working but struggling with homelessness. Despite facing these challenges, he never gave up.
Angel worked closely with his case manager navigating his path to stable housing. He also completed a paid internship where he gained valuable skills along the way. Today, Angel is proudly housed, working full-time, and focused on building a brighter future.
Angel’s case manager shares, “Angel is the definition of resilience. From a young age, life threw so much his way. He’s experienced homelessness and more hardships than most, but he’s stayed kind, ambitious, and determined through it all. He’s been holding down a job since we first met, and honestly, he inspires everyone who crosses his path. He’s a perfect fit for our mentoring program not just because of the support we provide, but because of the strength and potential he already has. Angel’s success starts with him, and we’re just here to guide him along the way.”
Reflecting on his experience, Angel adds, “StandUp for Kids helps you, they helped me get housing within a few weeks, no matter how long the process takes, they for sure help.”
Angel’s journey is a powerful reminder of the strength that lies within every young person we serve, and we are honored to be part of his path to success.
