Sarah is one of six siblings, raised by a single mother who was an alcoholic and drug user. She grew up just knowing how to survive, not really knowing how to live.
At age 15, she got pregnant and then ran into a childhood friend who she eventually married. When she thought things were about to get better, they got worse. She then called Dream Center where she was invited to live on the family floor with her children. Finally, a safe place where she could give her children, and herself, the chance at a good life.
Watch Sarah's video to see how the story ends.
About Los Angeles Dream Center:
Founded in 1994 by Pastor Matthew Barnett and his father, Pastor Tommy Barnett, Dream Center in Los Angeles has helped transform lives with outreach, residential and resource programs.
Our Outreach Programs provide free assistance to those struggling in the surrounding communities in the form of food, clothing, furniture, children's programs and more. This support allows families and individuals to focus on their personal growth, family health, and stability while having basic needs met on a consistent basis.
Dream Center's Residential Programs provide free personalized care, mentorship and guidance to each resident on campus. Our goal is to help families and individuals develop positive social skills, secure employment and independent housing, continue in their education and personal growth, and engage in healthy community.
The Resource Programs provide free additional support to both Residential and Outreach programs, including amenities such as our on-campus diner, discounted gym facility, and adult education tutoring. Through these supplemental programs, families and individuals in the community and on campus are further equipped to succeed in society.
