Children of the Night's Work on the Streets
Sheila lived in the Children of the Night shelter home many years ago. She suffered from severe emotional trauma, PTSD and Bipolar disorder. She has no one to reach out to except Children of the Night.
We continue to work with her and her therapist to secure a resource to manage her psychiatric medications and identify one pharmacy to fill all her prescriptions.
Without medication, Sheila cannot focus and complete the simple tasks most of us take for granted.
Sheila is suicidal because she believes her future is limited to prostitution. We check on her daily and give her hope about her education and future.
Sheila works with our tutors to study for the High School Equivalency exam and we purchase her school supplies in support of her education including a charger for her computer.
Sheila also receives clothing and hygiene items from Children of the Night.
Tutoring Sheila has been challenging and requires determination and patience by her tutor, but Sheila is committed to learning her math.
She also attends summer school and is enrolled in English.
Sheila will complete her high school equivalency this summer.
Sheila needs to complete one more course (Abnormal Psychology) to obtain her Chemical Dependency Specialist Trainee Certificate. Children of the Night has committed to paying the fees for her enrollment in this course.
Upon completion of her High School Equivalency and Chemical Dependency Specialist Trainee Certificate, Sheila wants to enroll in a local community college and work toward an AA degree in Human Services.
Sheila writes, "Ms. Ventura I just wanted to take the time to thank you and Britnie for all you do to keep me on track. I do not think you realize how much of a struggle math has been my entire life. I was never taught properly or received any additional help.
I know I might be aggravating at times because we must go over the math numerous times, but I am trying, and I know more about math now than I ever have before.
I really enjoy being tutored by Britnie. She is amazing. She breaks it down to my understanding no matter how many times I need extra help.
I truly appreciate the time and effort Children of the Night puts into me in helping me reach my goals. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
