Stories of our Youth


 
For the past 40 years, The Harbour has been proud to welcome thousands of neglected, abused, and frightened runaway girls.
“I appreciate everything everyone has done for me. For being there when I needed someone to talk to. For being friends. For putting a smile on my face when I was down... Thanks for helping me through a very hard time in my life.”
 
 
“During the 18 months I was with The Harbour, I’ve come across many strong women who have influenced my life greatly. I’ve learned to become more independent, see my strengths, acknowledge my flaws, and overall, I’ve come to realize the person that I really am, and love myself... The Harbour has been a positive influence on me with providing wonderful role models... helping me with my struggles with school and family. Thank you all for the last 18 months. You’ve all helped me grow.”
 
  
“I want to let everyone know that in the last sixteen years, this was the first time and place I ever felt wanted, cared about, and safe. There was always someone to support me when I was upset or just needed someone to talk to... I don’t know what I would have done if The Harbour wasn’t here for me... Each staff member has a special spot in my heart and The Harbour will always be a special part of me and my like.”
 
 
“I’m gonna miss you so much. You guys were just like my big sisters. I’ll never forget any of you... When you spoke, you inspired me... I’ll never forget what you’ve done for me.”
