Back To School

As the summer break begins to wind down, the next school year is just around the corner. Children everywhere are beginning to think about new clothes and supplies for the year, and wondering about what to expect in the new school year. Our children are thinking about these things as well. In fact, our children have additional considerations such as learning how to persevere through the traumatic experiences that brought them into our care.

Your gift today can quickly make an impact on a young life. Kaylee is a young lady in one of our cottages who has only been with us a short time, and she included this in a recent essay, “Ever since I was put in foster care at age 5, I have been struggling to find my purpose and understand my worth. In the short time I have been at Residing Hope, I have felt more loved and wanted than I have felt in my entire 16 years of living.”

Children like Kaylee need your help. A gift from you can provide the necessary supplies, additional tutoring, and other resources necessary to make them successful. And it’s not just the youth living on our Enterprise campus. The children at our Madison Youth Ranch, as well as the foster children we care for, need supplies for the coming school year. Please consider sending a gift today so all of our children have the materials and other support they need before the school year begins.

Since many of our children are coming to us from situations of abuse, neglect or abandonment, they are typically two to three years behind academically. Your support gives them the opportunity to recover from past failures and get back on track. Through the careful guidance of the teaching parents in the cottages, our therapists, and the other staff working with the children, they have become very successful in meeting their academic goals. This is a direct result of all the therapeutic support systems we surround them with while in our care which enable them to work through past trauma and learn coping skills which lead to the ability to focus and learn. We are able to do this through your support.

Please consider sending a gift to Residing Hope to help provide for the children’s needs during the coming school year. With your help, they can reach their potential!
