The piece features the incredible story of Suamhirs Rivera, who was kidnapped from his native Honduras and forced to be a child prostitute in United States. Sumanhirs was placed into foster care after a police raid and entered New Alternatives, a THP-Plus provider in San Diego County, after “aging out.”

Please take a moment to view this powerful piece and share it with others. In it, Suamhirs makes a compelling case about challenges youth face in their transition from foster care and the value of THP-Plus.
