Former foster child living her American Dream
Samira Todd honored by HeartShare St. Vincent’s Services
A college student who was once homeless is excelling in school and is on her way to becoming a psychologist so that she can help kids in the position she once found herself in.
Samira Todd shared her inspiring life story when she received the American Dream Scholar Award at a benefit dinner for the HeartShare St. Vincent’s Services (HSVS) program earlier this month.
The HSVS Annual Benefit, which took place at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, was attended by 500 people and raised more than $400,000, according to HeartShare Human Services of New York, the organization that oversees HSVS.
