"We became her village" combined with Dawn's incredible resilience, determination and attitude create a formula for a positive outcome. There are Thousands of teens like Dawn, sadly there aren't thousands of communities like Lawndale; and there Should be and Can be. Kudos to Dawn for her drive and focus AND to Lawndale for doing the right thing to help this deserving human being. <3 and HUGS. -

Her choices and her desire not to become a victim of circumstances while moving forward to reach her goals is a testimony to how we should all live our lives! The response from the community is one of pure love in reaching out to share what they have with one with less. She will remember this and with hope, pass it forward! Bravo young lady, reach for the stars! -

This young lady is remarkable - such resilency! I am a volunteer reading tutor for five and six year olds who are living in families without homes. I pray that they develop the same resilency and tenancity, but wonder if it's innate? Dawn is simply inspiring, and will likely do remarkable good in the world. -

Dawn, I am pastor of a mission church to the homeless in South Carolina. To watch this video humbles me. What a strong young person you are, and what a wonderful community surrounds you. I wish we had a way of identifying the Dawns out of all the thousands of folks seeking help. May you have every success during your college career and beyond. -

Dawn's fire in the belly, high motivation, focus on the goal, not playing the blame game and accepting her situation are inspriting attitude. She met with great obstacles and yet, moved forward. God helps those who help themselves. May God be with her always holding her hands and guiding. She practices "Be the Change". -

What inspired me the most is that Dawn never quit. Despite all the challenges she faced, she stayed strong and kept moving on. It shows that no matter how bad your situation might be, you have to keep going no matter what, because things change, sometimes for the better -

Dawn is obviously a bright, resourceful, dedicated,and hard-working young lady who has overcome tremendous odds to succeed. I highly commend and am deeply touched by her community for becoming her family, housing her, and embracing her. Well done, Lawndale, NC, and well-done, Dawn, for believing in yourself, staying the course, and now you're going to Harvard. Thank you, Karma Tube. I love stories like this one. -
