Helping 1,891 young people in 2024 -- now that's impact

Covenant House Michigan has been doing great work at its Detroit location for many years, and more recently it opened a location on the other side of the state, in Grand Rapids, for even more impact. Covenant House is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering young people to overcome homelessness and trafficking by providing best-in-class services and a shared commitment to unconditional love, absolute respect, and relentless support for each young person who walks through their doors. I first discovered them through the "Please Forgive Me, God" book when I was living in D.C., and I've been supporting them ever since, turning my focus to the Detroit location when I moved back to my home state of Michigan in 2013. I hope you'll consider supporting them in your own giving, as well, because I can vouch for this organization. I've toured the Detroit campus and seen close-up exactly what they do for the youth of the Motor City area. They save lives, and it strikes close to my heart as I research the criminal cases that have occurred in Detroit over the years. Some of the victims of the two serial killers I've studied were in the same boat as the youth Covenant House scoops off the street -- runaways, maybe drug-addicted, desperately needing help. I know that because of their work, fewer young people have been on the street, at risk for predators like the ones I've written about.
