Question

   Life hasn't always been easy for Sareana Kimia,16. Her parents split up when she was young,and she hasn't seen her dad since she was 10.In June 2014,she and her mom,Shefali Gupta,found out that they would soon be evicted(逐出) from their home. Sareana knew that her mom had money problems.

   Even before the eviction,Gupta had become very sad. Because she didn't have health insurance,Gupta couldn’t get a doctor's help for her emotional problems.

   Sareana took charge of things at home. For example,she often cooked her family's. meals. When she and her mom were about to lose their home,it was Sareana who arranged a place for them to stay.

   For years,Sareana had been an active volunteer with several organizations. She even started her own group,Youth for National Change. It works to support the rights of young people.

   Sareana called a few adults she had worked with. After finding out about her situation,one couple opened their doors right away. But by August 2014, the couple no longer had room for Sareana and her mom. The two ended up living in their car. They didn’t want to go to a homeless shelter out of fear that they could be split up. Through it all,Sareana kept working on projects and studying. “At no point did I let what was going on change my daily routine,” she says.

   Sareana is homeschooled online and goes to classes at a nearby college. Last fall,school bills began piling up. She had no way to pay them. A friend suggested that she try raising funds online. After a newspaper ran an article about Sareana,donations poured in — nearly $30,000!She paid for school and had enough money left to rent a small apartment. She and her mom moved into it in January 2015.
