Thanks to You - Summer Camp is Covered
|
Whoo-hoo! Because of you everyone of our youth will be practicing in youth camp and summer activities. As you read this we are working on building bonds with our youth through camp and summer activities. Warm heartfelt prayers are needed throughout this week so that Christ will instill in our children and staff a bond surrounded with a loving spirit and profound wisdom.
"I just wanted to say thank you for helping all my friends and I have a terrific summer. We have had lots of really fun things planned that wouldn't be possible without your kindness and generosity. Thank you for everything you are doing to help us."
Sincerely,
Bridgett (Youth Resident)

 "I refused to be another number for DHS," Keshuna, 18, said about the percentage of foster care youth who do not graduate from high school. "I wanted to beat them, and beat the system." So, on graduation night at Calloway High School, when she heard the principal announce, "Keshuna," she knew that she had indeed won. Read more from Keshuna's interview. |
 We are anxiously awaiting the completion of the newest home on campus -The Garrison House soon to be Owens House. This newly renovated 6-bedroom home will house 10-12 youth girls, providing them with a safe and loving environment. We can see the finish line in sight; to complete the project we only need $13,500.

When Javaris, a native of Chicago, IL, promised his grandmother that he would graduate from high school, he had every intentions of doing just that. So, in May when his name was called to come and receive his diploma, he knew that she was smiling down from heaven.
