Virginia is the oldest of her siblings Fernando and Fernanda. She and her sister did not grow up in Josiah’s House after their mother passed like Fernando, but we invited them to join Hope Continues Program for young adults because they were never able to attend a university. Virginia took on the role of caring for her siblings when their mother passed away and now, she has the opportunity for us to help her and give her time to enter college to realize her dream to be a Psychologist. She is now in her Sophomore year at university. She works for Josiah’s House substituting our foster parents on their day off. She is getting a lot of experiential training for her career! She is a huge blessing to all of us!
The Josiah’s House Hope Continues program supports young men and women 18 years old and older. The program helps them with basic living expenses as well as keeps spiritual and emotional support in place while they finish high school. It also hopes to help them seek scholarships, jobs, and financial aid so they can further their education in a university or technical college if they desire.
