Who We Are
We are, first and foremost, a home.
And the people who live under our roof become like family.
​
A young boy first walks through these doors…
broken and afraid
angry and bewildered
anxious and alone.
​
Abuse, neglect, violence and unspeakable trauma have derailed his childhood.
It is our mission to rebuild healthy lives for these children...allow them to reconstruct the dream of a rewarding and productive life…and restore hope and joy to them completely… body, mind, heart, soul and spirit.
We believe it is never too late for a happy childhood.
The severity and acuity of the boys' challenges necessitate the expertise of a highly skilled professional staff. Our team comprises clinical therapists, youth specialists, education counselors, recreation staff, and a medical liaison. Together, they develop tailored treatment plans for each child, providing structured support to rebuild their lives.
