With the help of our donors, Emily turned her life around
At twenty-one, Emily has already worked with some of the city’s hardest-to-serve populations. She’s worked with homeless youth and adult sex-trade workers. Her work has taken her to inner-city neighbourhoods – many with a history of violence and crime, and often in the late hours of the night. It’s demanding work. It requires strength and perseverance. But it’s work that Emilyis definitely up for.
We’ve known Emily for many years and are not surprised at all by her success. But even Emily agrees that things looked very different for her when she first arrived at CDI just twelve years ago.
