A child's story
Maya, 11
Maya has moved three times this year. New school, new shelter, new caseworker, every few months.
She has told her story so many times that she has stopped telling it. Her new teacher doesn't see a child whose home keeps falling apart. They see a quiet, withdrawn girl, and they have no idea why.
A navigator who stayed would change everything. Not by fixing her housing, but by being the one adult who already knows her when she walks into the next new room.
