David’s Leap into Independence: How the Silver City Gospel Mission Empowered a Former Foster Youth to Thrive

Hello, I'm David, a young adult who aged out of the foster care system.

When I turned 18, I suddenly found myself without a support network and unable to afford basic necessities.

The welcomed me with open arms, providing and a sense of community.

They connected me with job training programs and helped me find stable housing.

Today, I have a steady job and a place of my own.

I'm proud to be a part of the Silver City family, and I'm committed to giving back by volunteering and mentoring other young adults in need.
