“Everyone calls me Mira. I am a 17 year old girl and have been at Place of Hope for two and a half years. I had to come here because my parents were homeless and I was living on the streets. I haven’t talked to them since I was taken away from them. When I came here, I was behind in school and my GPA was a 1.114. Over the last two and a half years that I have been at Place of Hope, my GPA has gradually gotten better semester by semester. Now, for the first time in my life, I made honor roll with a GPA of 3.889! I feel far more confident than I ever felt; I am actually excited to bring my report card home. I have something to be proud of and I now know that if I can do that, I can do anything. There are better things in store for the future because somebody chose me.”

“Bringing Smiles to Children’s Faces”

Place of Hope really cares for those in need. The smiles on the children’s faces are so wonderful and uplifting. Everyone at Place of Hope works so hard to make sure they provide for these amazing children! Love!
