Olive Crest - Strong Families, Safe Kids reposted this
These two daughers of mine graduated from high school this month. The daughter on the right is my biological daughter, the oldest of three siblings, who worked hard for 4 years so she would hopefully be accepted to SDSU, where she will begin this Fall. The daughter on the left is a young lady who lived with us for six months 11 years ago through Olive Crest's Safe Families program. She got sidetracked from her education when she became a teen mom while in the foster system and even though the odds were against her, she didn’t let that stop her. She worked almost full time as a single mom while plugging away at her GED and because of the support of Olive Crest’s Wraparound program and her Court Appointed Special Advocates of Orange County (CASA OC), I’m so proud to say that she finally graduated from high school also this past June. Our family is celebrating both of these young ladies and have so much hope and excitement for all that is ahead. If you have a passion for at risk youth, Olive Crest - Strong Families, Safe Kids is one of many amazing organizations that is worth supporting. There are so many kids in need of homes, mentors and help so if this is an area that you are curious about, let me know and I’d be happy to share all that we’ve learned over the past decade!
Congrats to all of you. Great success story with more to come .
Awesome for both graduates!
Bravo to all!!

3moI love Olive Crest! What an amazing organization! I had the opportunity to mentor with the orange county for over 15 years and have to say I’ve never been involved with a more worthwhile organization!
