DONOR ENGAGEMENT MATERIAL
SALVATION ARMY CLIENT STORIES
Yahiya Shalgheen is a graduate of The Way In Transitional Housing Program in Hollywood. In 2010, at the age of 18, Yahiya arrived in the US after fleeing Syria with barely any money. Yahiya left everything and everyone he knew in Syria because he feared his life for the simple reason of who he chose to love. After struggling with homelessness for a few months, Yahiya found The Salvation Army Transitional Shelter Program where he finally found the support and stability he needed to take the next step in his journey.
