Five years later, I started my organization, Chopart, which is a multidisciplinary arts organization for homeless minors.
Chopart is headquartered in Atlanta,
Georgia, with additional programs in Hyderabad, India, and Accra, Ghana, and since our start in 2010, we have served over 40,000 teens worldwide.
They cried as their father signed over temporary custody to their Chopart mentor, Erin,
without even allowing them to take an extra pair of clothes on their way out.
