Support from Loving Houseparents

“It’s big for me to know my houseparents are always there for whatever I need. We talk a lot about God and how He has a plan for our lives.” As a high school senior, Nate attends school virtually (due to Covid-19), while working a full-time job at a department store. He is saving money and ahead on his schoolwork. His houseparents drive him back and forth to work, but he has an appointment to take his driver’s license test THIS month! “I want to buy a car, nothing fancy, and save money for college.”

A Safe Path to Independence

On the short term, Nate is ecstatic about moving into our Transitional Living program. “I really thought I would just be on the streets when I turned 18, until I heard about Transitional Living. I’ve never had my own room before, so that will be cool.”

Hope for the Future

Nate has big dreams for his career. “I really see myself as an archeologist one day. I’ve always loved history, digging up facts and studying other cultures. I want to travel the world.” Because of your help, Nate feels excited and ready for the future. “I think living here has prepared me in a lot of ways. I know someone always has my back. That’s a first for me. I’m just so ready for graduation, and I can’t wait for May to get here!”

A Grateful Heart

Unfortunately, thousands of children in Oklahoma are facing the same problems Nate faced as a young child. Our goal is to help as many children as possible. Mike, you are a part of this solution. When asked what he would like to say to you, Nate said:

“It just feels like there’s still good people out there. Thank you for caring about me.”
