INSPIRATION!
"We don't HAVE to, we GET to", was part of Bob Ryan's message to  A New Leaf' Management staff as he shared the priniciples of volunteerism that he has instilled in his children.

Bob's tireless hours of energy have been spent helping to ensure that A New Leaf Foundation's next Camaraderie Fundraiser,"An Evening on the Nile", is a huge success! ________________________________

Boy with clasped handsWhen asked what he wanted for Christmas, Matt said, "I wish for a  big house with  a bed and blankets for me and my mom and my brother and sisters".
Remember the children at A New Leaf's LaMesita Family Homeless Shelter this Holiday Season!

Greetings!  

Torrie 3As we reflect on the good in our lives, there is so much to be thankful for this holdiay season. I'd like you to know what we, at A New Leaf, are particularly thankful for:

 

  • YOU, as a volunteer of your time to serve
  • YOU, as parents teaching your children the joy of giving
  • YOU, as you coordinate your neighborhood, family or church group to hold one of our Essential Donation Drives
  • YOU, as you consider the needs of the less fortunate and respond with the question, "How can I help?"  

We  make a greater difference together! Thank you!

Who Helped Max?  YOU DID!

 mentor-menteeI was aging out of the juvenile justice system and terrified that I wouldn't have any place to go after I left A New Leaf's program.  

 

Then you sent me a Behavioral Coach and everything changed. I have a family again.

 

Thank you A New Leaf supporters.
