Brooklyn Norman and Odhnn Wilkison have turned their lives around with the help of Wairarapa Youth Services, which has aided them through education and into a better living situation.
Norman and Wilkison both had a challenging start to life, but now, at 17 years old, they had finished an NCEA Level 3 building course through Ucol and had gained employment at McDonald’s in Masterton.
