Karen Gruenberg on Holistic Support for Homeless Youth

Gina Saldano-Herrie2025-04-02T14:48:09-04:00

I have Karen Gruenberg with me from The Dayton Foundation. I would love to start with asking how long have you been involved with Daybreak and how did you get connected with us? That's a great question. Thank you very much for having me here. I'm involved with Daybreak in two different ways. I have a professional history with Daybreak and then I have a personal history as well. I became aware of Daybreak I'd say a few years back when I started my career here at The Dayton Foundation. I participated in helping organize the nonprofit capacity building which is [...]

I have Judge Wallace with me who is from Montgomery County Juvenile Court. Thank you for being here. You're very welcome. I'm pleased to be here. https://youtu.be/HChSlEuhmJQ?si=SSXG0iUP4In4emoJ So, how long have you been involved with Daybreak and how did you get connected with us? Well, I began working in Montgomery County in 2001 as a prosecutor in the juvenile division. Through that role I learned about Daybreak, and it was often that we’d contact Daybreak for kids that had nowhere else to go—it wasn't appropriate for them to be detained but they couldn't go home. Sometimes there needed to be [...]

Altar Lee on Adaptability and Accepting Help

I have with me Altar Lee who is a previous client and also been a featured speaker at our annual Champions for Youth event. Tell us what was the moment of instability that brought you to Daybreak? The moment of instability would probably be my mental health. When it started becoming clear because I am a person who has borderline personality disorder. I am diagnosed with it. I've had it since I was little. Been in therapy since I was little. But it became a big staple in my life at the age of 16 which caused a lot of turmoil [...]

Family Feel and Exponential Growth for Daybreak Youth with Darrico Murray

Gina Saldano-Herrie2025-02-27T09:59:36-05:00

I have Darrico Murray with me today, how long have you been involved with Daybreak and how did you get connected with us? Yeah, my time with Daybreak started a little over 19 years ago. I got connected with Daybreak through some work that I was doing in the community in the Wayne Ave. area and some young people I was working with through a school setting. I applied for a job and worked with a few of the people who were there at that time to start working in the shelter and then eventually started in the housing program. The [...]

Daybreak’s Courtney Smith on Putting Yourself First with Kindness

Gina Saldano-Herrie2025-02-14T15:36:00-05:00

Courtney, tell us what was the moment of instability that first brought you to Daybreak? The moment of instability that got me into Daybreak was that I was living with my sister. I really didn't have any aspirations to do anything in my life. I didn't graduate from high school on time because I had to pass my OGT science and I didn't know where to get help to even have that happen. So, it made me come here and fix my life and figure out what I need to do to be successful. https://youtu.be/DslZ0KyEeNc Did you end up completing [...]
