My Story

Keyla’s mother is one of CDL’s cooks for “La Ola”, the CDL Youth Mentorship Program. Keyla began coming to the group with her mother and it has been a great place for her to make healthy friendships. Her father passed away when Keyla was younger, and she has had a hard time dealing with the loss. Thankfully, with the encouragement and support of her youth mentors, and joining in with the activities of the group, we have seen her begin to grow in confidence and strength.
