Jacob Gutierrez

Jacob Gutierrez was transferred to SAMMinistries’ Youth Rapid Re-Housing program after moving from group home to group home. His dream, he said, was to study culinary arts, and he opens his chef’s coat to show his St. Philip’s College shirt. At a table beside a platter of fresh vegetables, he credits his case manager, who “really opened many doors.” The portraits were made for SAMMinistries, and he tells the rest himself in his Journeys of Hope video.
