Looking For Serious Help

Posted in Homeless Children and Youth about 1 year ago, 3 replies

Hello My name is Nakia. I'm 19 and I live in the bronx. I have been staying with a friend for a while but things are getting rocky. I have the feeling he is going to put me out. I have no where to go and I also have a 5 month old puppy with me. I am looking for any one that can help me find a job and get on my feet, to support me and my puppy. I am willing to work, I also want to go back to school. If any body can help please do. Thank You

I hope that you are doing okay. I don't know if this will help but in Phoenix, Arizona there is a place for homeless teens and young adults called Home Base Youth Services. They can help you with school, food, clothes, counseling, a safe place to stay, etc... Their toll free number is 1-888-254-4297. They might be able to get you a ticket to come here. I wish you the best of luck. God Bless You.

For people under 21 in New York City, a great resource for homeless/runaway teens is the Brooklyn Drop-IN Center in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Their phone number is 877-4-Drop in, or 718-384-7083.
