Story of a school in Maine...

"This is Part One of a 2 Part Series on the Homeless Youth in my city of Lewiston, Maine. The Store Next Door Project is a homeless youth program and is in need of help. You meet 3 courageous young people who have overcome so much adversity at such a young age. As well as there leader, Jamie, who is a real life HERO. In the next video I speak to the superintendent of the district to help Jamie continue to provide a stable program for these kids."
