PASADENA, Calif. — After going through many hardships, Sky Celine is still persevering and trying to accomplish her dreams.
“I was 18. I was homeless,” said Celine. “I couldn’t stay at the foster home I was at. I was couch surfing and had to put my stuff in a storage unit. That was pretty rough.”
Celine was able to get a second chance.
She connected with First Place for Youth, a local nonprofit that works with young people in the foster care system. The organization partners with Pasadena City College to help students who are aging out of the foster care system and provide them with housing when they’re enrolled at the school.
