Offer them a better path.

FUNDRAISING EVENT TO SUPPORT DANS LA RUE.

Our Founder, Father Emmett Johns “Pops”

In 1988, Father Emmett “Pops” Johns decided to reach out with love to help youth living on the street.

He asked them a simple question:

« What can I do to help you? »

Thus was born Dans la rue.
