MI Voice: Following My Education Dreams

This week as part of our MI Voice series, we’re bringing you short stories from youth at St. Vincent’s Children’s Home. St. Vincent’s offers a Case Planning, Stabilization and Treatment Program for children ages five to seventeen who are unable to maintain in a home setting due to safety issues.
