Delta High grad uses his own struggle to help others
During a student club discussion earlier this school year, senior Edward Lee decided he needed to speak up.
Delta High School鈥檚 Ambassadors Club was debating which organizations to help with a fundraiser. One student suggested My Friend鈥檚 Place, a shelter for homeless teens in Kennewick.
That鈥檚 when Edward, 18, told his fellow students that he had lived for a time at the shelter and it needed support, such as more beds to accommodate youth. The shelter鈥檚 washer and dryer at the time were on their last legs as well.
鈥淎 lot of them couldn鈥檛 believe (I鈥檇 been homeless),鈥 Edward said.
