About the eBook

"A Safe Place for Kaytlind" takes the reader into the lives of children who cope with homelessness, and the struggles they and their families face as they fight their way into a sustainable life.

It's not an easy path. Children have come to Opportunity Place barefoot and wearing old pajamas, the only clothes they have. Many are ill; some show the signs of physical starvation.

Kaytlind is only seven, but she has been homeless off and on since she was two. Security is not something she is familiar with. But, when she came to Opportunity Place first in 2009 and later in 2011, she found a home. She created a small book of art explaining why the shelter is her safe place, one where she knows we will always take her in.

Join Kaytlind, and other children, and discover what homelessness means, when seen through the eyes of a child.
