★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Hello all!
This place is literally a life saver to teens facing homelessness, and I know this as I was a teen who was homeless. When I first got to this shelter I didn't expect food, laundry, a nice bed, showers or anything really. I thought that it was just going to host me for the night and boot me in the morning. BUT it gave me hope. The hope I needed to stop myself from suicide. Like many homeless teens, giving up on life feels like the only option. The staff here made me feel like more then just a bum on the street, they made me feel human. They washed our clothes while we slept, fed us, provided showers, we had warm bunk beds to sleep in, and watched movies before bed. Without this shelter I know I wouldnt be here today. I wouldnt be in university studying to be a social worker or be a mom to my baby boy. I appreciate everything this place did for me when I was so helpless and lost. I only wish there was more options like this for youth on the street, because it only holds a small number of youth so if you arent there early enough you are stranded in our cold Edmonton winters (thankfully my friends snuck blankets through the window for me when this happened lol shhh). Keep up the good work and "tusen takk" ( a thousand thanks) <3

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I stayed at yes once when I lost my placement at a Grouphome. The staff were very kind and I was extremely scared and on the verge into going into stress related psychosis. And they did a very good job and ensuring me I was safe and that nothing bad would happen to me if I sticked to myself and locked up my belongings. The kids, well I mean their homeless street kids what are you gonna do. But the staff were very good at their job and kept things very professional. And where some of the kindest staff I’ve ever meet. :) if you ever find yourself in yes. Lock up your stuff. My friend got us iPad stolen and all the kids beat each other up due to “beef” keep talking to a minimal. Look at it as a place to sleep. Plus they have lots of programs and extra things they provide to those who want to get the help and better themselves!
