"The Place That They Call 'Home'..."

Late one Friday afternoon,
a frightened teenage mom and her 8-month-old baby learned that the place that
they had called “home” was no longer available to them. Can you imagine the
panic this teenager felt as she realized that she and her baby were temporarily
homeless? Fortunately, a VEFC family was immediately contacted and without hesitation
agreed to welcome this young mother and her baby into their home. During the
time needed to locate a permanent living situation for both the teenage mom
and her baby, the VEFC family not only provided safe shelter, but also much
needed mentoring and support.
