Teen homeless student graduates to college with new family at Dallas shelter
Daniel Brown, 18, lived at Union Gospel Mission in Dallas from last August to this August. Surrounded by former addicts and ex convicts, he pursued languages and academics, tutored peers, and earned a full scholarship before choosing a Christian college over Prairie View A&M. Shelter residents and staff say his presence gave them purpose and inspiration, while he credits them for support and belonging. He left for college amid a community going tears and celebration.
