Youth need homes in Danbury, Putnam and Waterbury/Prospect
M* is an 18 year old gay boy, currently in hair design school in Danbury. When he came out to his mom, she threw him out, threatened to out him at school and physically assaulted him. The intimate partner violence shelters don’t accept boys over 18. Do you have a safe place that he can stay for a while, as he finishes school and gets on his feet? For more information this young man, please call Nicole Sabel at the Danbury Women’s Center at (203) 731-5200 or on her cell at (203) 313-1509.
T* is a transgender 16 year old boy who was assaulted by his step dad because of his refusal to wear ‘girl’s’ clothes. He currently goes to school in Ansonia and is in a foster home in Prospect. The foster home is not a good fit and the foster parents have asked that he be moved. English is not T’s first language but he is growing in fluency every day. For more information about T or to inquire about becoming a foster parent, please email Ann Dileone at Ann Dileone
S* is a 19 year old lesbian, in the Putnam area, whose family rejected her due to her orientation. She is a sweet young woman, a hard worker and would love to work on a farm in exchange for room and board. For more information about this young woman, please email Ann Adams
