“HOMELESSNESS IMPACTS EVERY COMPONENT OF A<br />
CHILD’S LIFE. THEY ARE LEFT WITH ANYONE WHO WILL<br />
“BABY SIT” BECAUSE THEIR PARENTS ARE DESPERATE. I<br />
HAVE SEEN 4 YEAR OLDS THAT DON’T KNOW THE COLOR<br />
BROWN OR 6 YEAR OLDS THAT DON’T KNOW THEIR<br />
ABC’S. IT’S NOT THAT THEY ARE DEVELOPMENTALLY<br />
DELAYED, IT’S JUST THE ENVIRONMENT THEY ARE<br />
RAISED IN ISN’T CONDUCIVE TO EDUCATING OR<br />
ACADEMICS. SO WHEN THEY GET TO SCHOOL THEY<br />
ARE FAR BEHIND THE OTHER CHILDREN AND START<br />
TO LABEL THEMSELVES AS SLOW LEARNERS OR WORSE.<br />
THEIR PARENTS ARE NOT TRYING TO NEGLECT THEM<br />
BUT FOR WHATEVER REASON THEY DON’T HAVE THE<br />
CAPACITY AT THIS POINT IN THEIR LIVES TO PLAY AN<br />
ACTIVE ROLL IN THEIR CHILDREN’S ACADEMIA...WE ARE<br />
JUST TRYING TO GET THESE CHILDREN TO THE SAME<br />
STARTING LINE AS EVERYONE ELSE.”<br />
