Meet Anna
Anna, 17, has been involved with our Youth Emergency Shelter five times during the past three years. Anna and her family have struggled with homelessness since she was 10, living on the streets of San Diego, in numerous family shelters and “couch surfing” between friends. At one point, Anna was suspected of being involved in sex trafficking. During her final stay, she worked with our staff to pursue more permanent solutions and started therapy with our Counseling Cove program. Anna was awarded her dependency by the court system and is now living with a foster family. She graduated from high school, has a part time job and plans to begin community college.

Steven Jella Completes IRONMAN for Foster Youth
San Diego Youth Services’ own IRONMAN, Associate Executive Director Steven Jella, undertook a 140.6-mile triathlon on May 12 as part of our campaign to raise $10,000 for foster youth during National Foster Care Month. His participation, during Mother’s Day weekend, was an extraordinary undertaking for San Diego most vulnerable population: foster children. Every child deserves a parent.
