NOAH’S ANCHORAGE DOES: At 19 and already a mother, Santa Barbara–born Daniella is a veteran of surviving on our streets.
Homeless off and on since she was 15, she’s grateful for help from the Noah’s Anchorage center, which tends to the needs of a group of young people who gather downtown, as well as kids on the road, just passing through.
Since the birth of her son, Lukas, now 7 months old, Daniella has been back living with her mother, but she’s keeping in touch with her homeless friends while job hunting with the help of Noah’s Anchorage and preparing for school at Santa Barbara City College.
