Meet Dylan

Independent Living

The challenges Dylan* faced with his mental and physical health used to make him feel isolated and hopeless. Now, Dylan knows he is not alone.

Thanks to people like you, Dylan joined our Independent Living program, where he has access to mental health care and life skills training to help him as he transitions from foster care to adulthood.

Dylan’s journey is full of resilience and hope. Despite a family history marked by mental illness and substance abuse, Dylan refuses to let his past define his future. He has worked to forgive and rebuild a relationship with his mother, bringing healing and restoration to his family.

Dylan has also found a supportive community in a local church, where he has grown in his Christian faith.

Instead of being isolated by his pain, Dylan is surrounded by a community that encourages him.

Dylan has accomplished so much, including graduating high school, addressing his medical needs, learning to manage his finances, and earning his driving permit.

“Dylan is determined to succeed and takes full advantage of the help we offer him,” our staff says.

Today, Dylan is going to college, which will set him up for success for his future—he’s even considering becoming a social worker to help youth with stories like his.

Your gift today will make a life-changing impact. Dylan is just one of many youth we are serving. The costs to provide high quality care grow every year. Please consider giving generously today!
