Jesse's House - Emergency Children's Shelter

A Resident's Letter

I have changed a lot since I have been at Jesse's House. When I first came, I didn't want to be here or have anything to do with anyone. I felt alone and scared.

I've learned since I've been here that when you talk about your problems, it helps you to let go of them. It helps you a lot instead of just keeping it all inside and living alone from others.

I came here with a bad attitude and I'm leaving here with a positive attitude. I'm so happy that I can talk about what's wrong. I'm so proud of myself for all of the work I've done.

Thanks for all of your help. I don't think I could have done this without you.
