GRADUATION CELEBRATION
In May, we celebrated the graduation of four of our Hillcrest residents. They are each emarking on their future and we are excited for them.
Two of the graduates were able to return to their families/host families and two of our graduates have moved into our TLC program and are settling into their first apartments. We are working on helping them become established with jobs, vehicles, education, and beginning the process of becoming a successful adult.
We could use your help to do this.
Some of the biggest needs in our TLC program are basic supplies for their apartments such as vacuums, comforters, pot and pan sets, and other small appliances. The average cost of each of these items is about $40. If you would like to assist one of our residents on getting started, here is how to help.
Send a check or gift card marked "Graduation Gifts" to us and we will utilize it to purchase these items for these residents. What an exciting opportunity to see a child choose a path for a bright future.

HILLCREST BIRTHDAYS
Birthdays are an exciting time for a young child but it can also be difficult when they are away from family and friends. You can help make a difference by sending them a birthday blessing. If you would like to send a card or note to them to tell them Happy Birthday, we assure you the cards will go to them. One of the most favorite things from our students is to receive mail.
