Ellie Hutchinson grew up in a rural area near the east coast. She became pregnant in her late teens and found herself living out of her car and showering at a community center. âAs you make your way through the world you try to thrive and succeed,â Hutchinson said. âThen you find yourself just trying to survive, and never able to get ahead. âIt is (more) difficult with a young child.â Hutchinson made her way to Arizona and turned her life around. Today, she makes it her mission to help the homeless and works to prevent people from being without a home.
