Michelle Gillig is 17 and a junior at Decatur High School, who has lived in the same house with her mom, dad and big brother since birth.
When she wants to brush her teeth, all she needs to do is go to the bathroom. If she needs soap to bathe or shampoo to wash her hair, it’s in there.
What Gillig might not know is there are nearly 2,000 DeKalb county school children -- some in her own school -- for whom this is not the case.
For those children and thousands of metro Atlanta teens, home doesn’t have an address and toiletries can seem like luxuries.
