Going to School with M&S Support
Julaine and Melanie are two young women sharing a first apartment away from home. It may not seem like a big story, but these two women demonstrate personal qualities not always common among 18-year-olds. They have practicality, self-sufficiency, and quiet confidence—as well as well-mapped-out dreams.
But there is more to this story. Julaine and Melanie are Crown wards, children living in foster care until they are 18. Mortimer Avenue Housing, managed by Fred Victor Centre, which receives M&S funding, designates three units for Crown wards. These young people also receive assistance from the Adolescent Resource Centre, from a social worker, and from the housing manager. Fred Victor Centre also
reduces their rent while they’re at school and helps them get bursaries and scholarships.
Julaine and Melanie had both lived in the same foster home in Scarborough. They have now created a simple household routine that works: Julaine likes to cook; Melanie likes to clean. While Melanie will finish high school this year, Julaine has already graduated and is saving money for school by working for a temp agency. She has been accepted at Centennial College and will apply for a student loan for a program in child and youth care.
Melanie has been accepted at Humber College’s Food and Beverage Management program and currently holds down two jobs as well as attending Grade 12. She, too, will depend on student loans to get through college. It’s hard to imagine two more worthy candidates to support through their college years.
Julaine wanted to put in one last word for M&S donors. She said, “Tell your donors we really appreciate it, because without Mission and Service Fund support, we wouldn’t be here.”
