ECH is happy to celebrate twenty members of the 2025 graduating class, who are all part of our Transitional Living program! There were eight graduates in St. Louis, five in Kansas City, and our foster care program had seven. Their plans included nursing, IT, cosmetology school, and the military.
Here is the inspiring story of just one of our graduates:
T was referred to ECH by a Ritenour High School social worker due to neglect and anunstable household. She was working a parttime job, participating in track and wrestling, saving money, paying bills in her household, scheduling her own appointments, and still maintaining a 3.5 GPA. After enrolling in our TLP program she maintained her GPA, acquired two part-time jobs and graduated on time. She started the nursing program at STLCC this fall. T actively participates in ECH’s program activities and always has a pleasant attitude despite her obstacles. Her motivation is truly inspiring and fuels the passion for what we do! She is a true example of a warrior and our team is so proud of her!
