Covenant House: Jorges Story

From College to Homelessness

Jorges mother was an alcoholic and drug addict. When Jorge needed her most, she left him alone to wander the streets eventually disowning him. Through his own determination, Jorge received a partial scholarship to college, but found that tuition isnt the only expense of an education. Without a family to give him guidance or support, he ran out of money. Left with nowhere else to go, Jorge became homeless.

Covenant House is the largest privately-funded agency in the Americas providing shelter and other services to homeless, runaway and throwaway youth. Visit us at: http://www.covenanthouse.org/

I have been a regular supporter of Covenant House for about 10 years now. To see Jorge move forward with his life is what helps inspire me to give to be a part of Jorgel's future. Jorge, I am proud of you! You should be proud of yourself! Keep going forward..... there are many like me, that you inspire to give . I wish you the best ! God Bless You!

Way to go! I'm surprised too. Jorge can sing! He should try out for American Idol.
