Mary was 12 when she arrived at FUTURE BOUND. She was severly abused physically and sexually by her brothers and step-mom. Over the years she worked hard on building her self-esteem and working through the issues of abuse and learning to trust adults again. When Mary was 15, a famous couple became interested in Mary, and began working with hern on the very slow process of helping her build a new life. In 2007, they adopted her. Mary now lives in California, and enjoys her new life with people who love her, and are supporting her the way she deserves. She is doing well in high school, taking acting classes and living like a "regular" teenager.
John was 15 when he arrived at NEVADA HOUSE, also abused as a young child. He started to get into trouble as an adolescent, and was placed on probation. John was sent to NH to emancipate out of the foster care system. With our support, he graduated from High School with a 3.0 grade point avarage. He went to Western State University for one semester, but felt he could not handle college at that time. He returned back to Colorado Springs and even though he had "aged out of the system," NH continued to help him. John enlisted into the Navy, where he is doing well. We are the only family he really knows, and he comes back often on his breaks to share his inspiring story with our current residents.
Over the years we have experienced many successes and have many more stories of children growing up to lead happy, healthy lives. Please help us continue to work with these kids as we help them turn their lives around.
