Stories from the Streets Part One

650CKOM/980 CJME profiles the lives and stories of five people - who either are homeless or, who were recently homeless.

Our series "Stories from the Streets" begins with single mom of four, Kaylene.

Last fall, she was staying at the EWC. Working with  staff, Kaylene was determined to get treatment, go back to school, find a home, and get off the streets.
