Episode #12 - Dayjah (Part 1/2)

Dayjah’s journey is a powerful example of what long-term commitment makes possible.

After earning her GED through Children of the Night, Dayjah went on to college to complete an AI ethics certificate. Today, she works full-time for the county and is a devoted mother of two—focused on building a stable, opportunity-filled future for her children and breaking generational cycles.

In this episode, Dayjah reflects on the impact of education, consistency, and being believed in. She also shares her reaction to learning that Children of the Night’s scholarship fund supports not only graduates, but their children and even their children’s children.

Dr. Lois Lee explains why this multi-generational commitment is intentional. At Children of the Night, support does not end at adulthood or graduation. Once a child enters the program, they are family—supported for life, and across generations.

Dayjah’s story is a testament to what happens when care doesn’t have an expiration date.
