  • God bless April,....what a world we live in, God help us all,..great job ya all are doin',...thumbs up to ya CovenantHouse!! = )

  • god bless her soul

  • Very tragic. One thing comes to mind .... "birth control." Some people should not be procreating, to bring young people into a world where they are unwanted and will live in misery, and where life could end in tragedy. To bring a human being into existence when you will only throw them to the wolves after they are born, is inhumane. I am glad someone is caring for these children.

  • why didnt god save her?

  • I will say on here the same thing I sent in a message as a reply. This: A homeless youth shouldn't be getting herself mixed in with the local thugs then. She should be applying for all the aid she could get through both government and private legit people online at her local library.

  • i feel bad for the kids but what am i supposed to do? i live in the uk where we have so many of our own kids out on the streets facing the same problems every day, no doubt everyone who was sent this video see's homeless people every day too, whether they're young or old they're just as much at risk of violence, drugs and possibly murder whether they're homeless or not. no ones ever really safe it's a sign of bad times.

  • this is not right

  • I feel bad our system did this to your children. So when everyone is poor your saying we are all gona stab each other to survive? or if things get tough and there is no equality then one party will be punished? Sad the whole thing has been running clockwork for some time. I hope we can help adopt and remove jails and give Americans meaningful jobs with a directive of national pride! Since John F Kennedy was president nothing has changed. They are like a Mafia, creating cells for innocent people

  • @itsadeadmansparty Please do provide people with places to get by Covenanthouse, i dont think placing another dollar into this issue is the solution! Because the central bankers are not gona be so helpful to your present situation.I mean never give up hope, you will always defeat these scum bags doing bad things to our precious government system. some executive orders to me sound a little deconstructive of our inalienable rights(in my opinion). April may you RIP

  • Thank you for the important work you are doing!

  • I cannot nor never understand how people can kill innocent vulnerable people whom clearly whom had a vision for the future. Yet these callous animals have no condense nor guilt for killing such a innocent young girl as april I just hope these murders will be brought to justice before they possibly kill anyone else I hope april is in heaven and is at peace and away from any abuse and suffering anymore RIP april lets bring these killers to justice and show how the world can help as one

  • Eternal rest grant unto her Oh Lord.

    May she rest in peace.

    Our prayers are with April & all who cared about her and especially we pray that the killer/s are caught and brought to justice so that they may never kill again.

  • This is about the 3rd time I've watched this.

    Its truly saddening - its soulbreaking - stuff like this shatters my heart into 7 pieces.

  • Thanks for telling this compelling story. Breaks my heart. Thankful for what you are doing.

  • In a world were bad men run amuck, Good men must rise to become something that even the darkness fears...To all you creatures that have being that feels, I fight and believe for you.

  • I like it!!!

    Gaby.

  • Stories like this one really breaks my heart. April is with God now and will never be hurt again.

  • dam,y does dis shit all the time?

  • R.I.P. April, your in a better place now and will suffer no more! My Prayers go out to your family and friends! God Bless, Missy.

  • Too many times this happren because we don't want to get involved. Out of fear, laziness, uncaring...I don't know. I have been involved with this sort of issue for years and have seen what one caring person can do. We are our brother's keeper. Many of the youth I work with are gang kids and also gay youth who have been largely ignored or tormented by those who do it in God's name. I have prevented Christian youth, as young as 12, from committing suicide because they felt so abandoned

  • This story hurts me to my heart.

  • haha... her name was april and this month is april. coincidence?

  • It's so Sad but thousands of kids end up on the streets and are fooled into Fame

    they Fall Victim to prostitution and gangs and all of them end up discarded like April

    it's a Shame but reality in Many Cities

    Good Luck to you i hope you raise the Money you need and also awareness

    >>>Sherif

  • omg!!!:( i am 12 nd that makes me waa cry ma eyes out

  • The sad and moving video !

  • if everyone was treated equally, and we all had enough love, nobody would do such horrid things to one another...they would all be happy, and the greedy people who would subject others like that despite a perfect world, could just have their heads cut off, sounds just fine to me, anything to avoid misery such as this...worldwide.

  • tragic, i'm sorry to hear of this, it doesn't look good for humankind these days, how unfortunate. i wish everyone would come together as one, as we should, all nations, small and great.

  • Who can match my $20 donation in April's memory? April is in a loving place now but there are kids still stuck in this hell hole world we live in. Lets focus on helping them.

  • @trulykiwi Try not to let that jerk get you upset - there's always one, unfortunatly.

    Thank you for sending this video to me. I will pass it on.

  • @realzoomy Yeah I agree! It was the first thing I saw when I woke up and switched on the computer. Wasn't in the best of minds, lol. Normally these little upstarts don't bug me, but then every so often one will get under my skin!

  • Sorry to say I don't live in the area, but if I find them, they will surrender to either me or their false god!

  • I have shared this and thank you. You are not giving up and saying what is the point, the forces of evil and indifference are too strong. I, too, am fighting for my life. I salute you. Bless you.

  • thank you for e mailing me this link... may light guide your work and bless you and your organisation for what you do for the children of light who walk in darkness... love from Aotearoa NZ

  • Coming from the streets myself, I've lost more than a few friends & its never easy. Its terrible to think it happens, but sometimes when you're alone out there, you're REALLY alone. Conditions in shelters don't always ALLOW for help. There is overcrowding, body lice infestations, violence, & a BIG factor is in most shelters is age restriction & that you can't have pets, & all LOT of us do.

    (continued below)

  • (continued from above)

    So sometimes the next best thing is sleeping in groups outdoors, hoping the police wont harrass you first, then society next. Sometimes that option isn't there, & then you're left alone AND vulnerable. My heart goes out to April, & her street family. Hope you can make very positive change to some of the conditions in your shelters with the funds taken in from the new charity in her name.

  • oh this is so sad.. R.I.P. April.

  • this is very tragic ... my heart goes out to her family and prayers!!! to april may u never feel pain again sweetie :( ... as for the covenent house u all are angels for helping families and young teens a place to live to get away from all the evil that infests every where god bless convenent house for their many great achievments <3

  • This is terrible, my prayers to her and her family. Watching things like this makes me upset, it's hard to watch.

  • Am homeless too, can understand how it is on the streets especially big citys. God bless her and her family.

  • that is so sad, thank you so much for sharing this...my God bless you're ministry

  • Oh man! This is sad....

    Can't you please ask around to find out who she was affliated with and do the detective work?

    My guess is a prior "customer" that she refused after in the House. It was vengeance/rape/resistance/murd­er

    Someone out there will know and will tell - These are the "days of truth"

  • I'm really sorry for her and thanks you for sharing this i'll be sure to show this to all my friends

  • So very sad!!!

    But this is a superb awareness video!!!

    I'm definitely sharing this!!

    Wil be keeping you all in my prayers!!!

  • Great video and positive messages !

  • God does love the little children, regardless of wicked individual who are fill with evil ways. The Lord know that individual and his conscience will hunt him or her, until they turn themselves in. So, many unborn childrens are being murdered each passing day as well. I will surely keep all of you in covenanthouse in prayer. Alots of love in the Lord. Do to financial situation, I am unable to help. Will pray that many will support this ministry.

  • I pray God's provision for your ministry......thank you for sharing this....it's heartwrenching.

  • This is so sad. D:

    RIP.

  • RIP

  • This is so very sad and painful to watch. May April rest in peace

  • I hope April finds the peace in death that she couldnt seem to find in life.

  • I'm a StandUp for Kids volunteer in Los Angeles and this sickens me. Everyday thirteen youth die on the streets as a direct result of living on the streets. Keep up the good fight, guys. I will repost the link for exposure and awareness efforts. I know you need it.

  • That's a really good thing you are doing here. I hope for the best outcome!

  • tht really sad huh thers so many crimes in us huh

  • I am sharing with your sorrow story. In memory of April. Did had happens in New York city of America today! Its very sadness story to hearing? I hope will catch killer.. Prayer for April Resting in peace. Thanks for Covenant House had sending message and video.

  • The killer will get his eventually

  • May our lord and savior give her rest and love and i give her my respects to her may God bless her and let us hope that these demons are brought to Juctice

  • I just said a prayer.

    I will keep praying for the people and children and teens at the CovenantHouse.

    God Bless

  • what is the covenant house? i mean ... i got this clip in an email but i have no idea where or what this is from. sorry for your loss but i'd like to help. i know all people can change and being homeless doesn't make anyone less relevant. I hope you catch who did this ....... there are some sick people out there.

  • @bbproductionsLA Covenant house is a non profit organization that supports homeless and abused children in the USA and abroad. They run homeless shelters and do things like that.

  • This is so terrible! She was way to young to be on the streets and to know that there are places like your for these kids to go too is so comforting to know!

    May April Be Resting In Peace Now & I wish you all the luck in the world catching the animals that did this to her too!!

  • @CousinSusie , don't insult animals by calling those people who killed this girl animals. Animals don't kill for joy, only for hunting. These were monsters..and society is full of them. The Government and the entertainment industry and parents are responsible..It has been a total failure of humans tyring to create a civilized world, our own movies and entertainment glorify killing and violance. Hopefully God, if there is a God will come soon and destroy this system..if not..well...its sad.

  • @sfumato1002 You Know What? Your So Right!!

    There Is A GOD & They will have to face him oneday!!

  • @CousinSusie Prolly not. But keep believing I guess. If god exist he is one evil bastard.

  • Yes it's tragic , I wish you well , and hope that the police find those responsable, and don't just close the file. greetings, you are doing great work. David.

  • Wow, what a crying shame this is!!  Much to your to be out on there on her own!

    Thank God for places like your that these kids can go to & be safe! She was so close, yet so far away from you!!

    May April Be Resting In Peace & May They Find The Animals who did this to her too!

  • This evil things that is happening around us is one of the sign of the end time prophecy. We all need to get ready to meet the Lord of lords and King of kings on His return in this world to administer justice. Repent for the kingdom of God is near.

  • Man this is so sad I could not watch past the 2 minute mark.

  • What a wonderful thing you pple do for the poor kids;],April will be in the arms of Jesus I am sorry for your loss;[,,I pray Jesus tracks down her killer ..May all you be blessed ;]

  • Who is April?

  • lets kill the people who killed april

  • wow whoever murdered her should live the life of HELL. what a story  :(

  • Thank you very much for sharing this message with me. As someone who has made it through 29 months of homelessness here in Los Angeles, all the many fist fights on Skid Row and even having a gun in my face, my heart breaks for April. I have sent this message to my friends and I will do all I can to help raise funds to help support the effort in her honor.

  • God Bless

  • This might make me unpopular, but people should also be praying for the murderer, not for his escape, but for his redemption. After-all, seems he is truly the one who is lost.

  • Stay ALIVE!:^)>

  • Thank you for this, you guys do a wonderful service, I'm passing this on to everyone I know. My heart goes out to all who need you

  • God Bless "Covenant House" for the saving work they do to save young souls and minds.  Your House is needed now more than ever, past and present to future.

    -Prayers to Mother Mary, Saints, through Lord God+

  • God Bless you April! There but for the grace of God go I.....

    Thank you Conenant House for what you do! We need more shelters like this in the United States.!

  • God bless you all at Covenant House, and special blessings for young April ~ whose life was robbed from her at such a young age ~ but is definitely in the safest, most beautiful place ever now.

    Love & LIGHT to everyone, everywhere,

  • Why would anyone kill...anyone?

    That is beyond my comprehension.

  • That poor girl. I am so blessed. If (God forbid) something happened to my parents, I have a big, loving family that would take me in in a heartbeat. This is so horrible! She was so young. She had so much potential. God help all the girls in April's situation. All the boys, too. They are all loved by God and deserve to be loved.

  • If someone can hurt a child,that person forgot the meaning of love,because a child is a gift of pure love,a child is a precious gift from God of immeasurable worth.

    It's so sad to see this...

  • Thank you for this heartbreaking message. I definetly will share. This is so sad.

    Peace,

    Bobby

  • ive never seen her and shes prolly never seen any of these people commenting on this video but shes watching us comment and smilling:) down from heaven RIP april and god bless

  • I go back a long ways.Befor projects like TeamChallenge,Opertation HOPE,others as well as being ExMember of HUG FARMERS and a runaway befor I was 11 y.o.remember CovenantHouse when it began.Don't forget those who help me when I needed help...You have my support.

  • I am wondering who your major funder is. Just curious. Is it the church? Also, where are you located?

  • May she Rest in Peace....and too hell for the BASTARDS that did this despicable act.

  • Thank you so much to everyone who is sharing this video and posting positive messages and showing you care. It is that compassion that you are all exhibiting that Covenant House wants to spread to the homeless youth we take care. God bless you all.

  • dear God so many Aprils RIP April With all the possibility of life before you-- --snatched away too soon Thank you covenant house for all your help....

  • that is why wee need to give every child a dignified life

    how sad

  • SAD what happens when our young people are separated from family...

  • ready or not all in house?

  • I understand the homeless shelters are located where the need is but can yall try this? Establish a place away from where all the need is perhaps buy an old wal mart convert it to a new type of shelter encorporate some recycling industry wher you will earn money and have schools to teach something where going to work is a matter of getting infront the computer reason you dont need a car nice clothes just a computer and a I hookup.

  • Grits,ramen noodle,oat meal, add bacon bits sugar tobasco WE you like to dress up those base meals, a loaf of bread dozen eggs can go a long way.You can be homeless and not be disrespectable have a bike with a lock so when you stash your gear to go to town you look like a person riding a bike. Learn to wash clothes groom yourself and you could pull it off unil you save enough to buy your own land.

  • Every person needs to learn survival skills to keep out of the cities when they fall into homelessness. The City is where you can find a hand up but it is where all the killers are too. I would rather stealth camp spending my days in the library chilling on the computer than be in a place like NYC where all the predators are located. Seealth camping can occur with as little as $50 in gear you will be sheltered from rain and can cook using alcohol stoves. Sorry about April.

  • Sad but true. Teens don't stand a chance on their own out there.

  • Kids from dysfunctional families, UNwanted children, irresponsible pregnancies, abortion not being properly at hospitals...and these poor kids end up on the streets.

  • This will be reposts by ME, and others should do the same to get more awareness of what has happened to APRIL.

    Teenagers should NOT be victims of crimes, they should be going to parties, texting, and riding motorcycles Atvs, and anything else others enjoy doing.
