Yakemma's Story

"When CCA came along my daughter's whole life turned around. Monica, my daughter's CCA case worker, helped me too by talking with me, by taking me places, by telling me how my daughter, Yakemma, is doing.

Things got rough. We got evicted. We've moved around a lot but Monica was there.

Yakemma picked herself up, even though we had a lot of problems. Instead of going down her grades are up. She grew at CCA.

At CCA the kids learn to express themselves and to talk about problems. CCA brings so much out of them."
