Meet Mikayla
"I don't even think the person that I was when I was on the street would recognize the person that I am today." For years, Mikayla experienced homelessness in Los Angeles, struggling with addiction and the trauma of loss. She felt hopeless...until a genuine connection with her neighbors at SELAH changed everything. Today, Mikayla is on the path to permanent housing, is an active volunteer with SELAH, and advocates for her community. Listen as Mikayla shares her journey and the power of human connection.
