This story was inspired by the many young, homeless and at-risk runaway teens living on their own; youth who are thinking about running away or are in crisis; parents whose child has run from home; parents who are struggling with their child; and concerned adults who work with children, such as teachers, law enforcement personnel, agency staff, and siblings and other relatives. Many of America's runaway teens need shelter, food, medical assistance, or counseling. Many runaway teens never make it home. NRS (National Runaway Safeline) helps keep America's runaway, homeless and at-risk youth safe and off the streets.
If you or someone you know is thinking about running away or has run away, please call the toll free number 1 (800) RUNAWAY for a runaway help hotline or go online at 1800runaway.org
To all those young people, still out on the streets, don't give up. There is hope out there.
