Her home is no longer safe due to a parent's substance abuse and angry outbursts and she is currently homeless. Like many older students who are too old for care and fearful of shelters, Kate is making do by couch surhng with friends until she can hnd more permanent accommodation. She works parttime to support herself, but she needs clothing, toiletries and school supplies to help her start the school year off on the right foot. A Back to School donation to the Halton Learning Foundation can help students like Kate purchase basic necessities that help them stay in school and engaged in learning.
