Letter: Youth homelessness intervention

A recent article in the paper on Jan. 12, discussed the necessity for intervention in helping youth homelessness so that the children do not end up on the streets. I just wanted to mention that we are fortunate enough to have an excellent organization here in Tucson, Youth On Their Own, YOTO. As retired middle school and high school teachers, my husband and I have had a number of students whom we have referred to YOTO. These children were able to pick up the pieces of their lives, finish high school and go on to become productive, responsible adults. We know a couple personally and are very proud of the adults that they have become, all because of the help and support from YOTO. We encourage you to support this amazing organization.
