Youth Homes Success Story

Little Sam was removed from his mother on his 3rd birthday.  He had been in and out of foster care since he was born. His mother always tried to get him back but couldn't keep him safe due to her own mental health issues.  Sam's temper tantrums and other behavioral problems were so severe no foster home could be found that would keep him more than a month or two.
Then, Sam came to live in one of Youth Homes foster homes last summer and now is doing wonderfully!  

He has been with us for 9 months and his behavior has improved tremendously.  He now has friends at his pre-school for the first time.  His social worker is now thinking he will be able to be adopted within the next few months.  Sam celebrated his 4th birthday with his (FFA) Foster Family Agency staff and foster parents.

As part of the RED Day effort (Short for "Renew, Energize and Donate), Keller Williams Realty East Bay chose to spend the day with Youth Homes at Anderson House on Everett Court

in Concord from 8am to noon on May 12th.   

Thank you to all who donated their time, energy and materials to make this happen! 

Stay tuned for the full story and more pictures!
