Nevi’s Story of Courage

December 23, 2024

story

Meet Nevi, a joyful and friendly middle schooler with an excitement for life.

After her family experienced homelessness, Nevi was sent to live with various family members.  It was a little scary and isolating. At the YFC City Life Center, Nevi found a safe place where she encountered Jesus and was able to become a part of a Christ-centered community. 

With help from partners like you, we provided her with:

  • Daily meals that nourish her body and mind.
  • Encouragement and help with her homework.
  • A safe place for her to pursue her passions like volleyball and violin.
  • An opportunity to experience the love of Jesus and hear the Gospel through authentic Christ-centered relationships.

Testimonial from YFC Staff:
“Nevi went from having very little motivation in school and in life to spending hours practicing violin and making art at the center. She now knows she is loved for who she is, and we are proud of her when she tries her best. She also knows that even as her family experiences homelessness and the uncertainty that comes with that, she is no longer alone in her challenges. Jesus is with her wherever she goes, and she now has a Christ-centered community around her. She may have never experienced that before.”
