SUCCESS STORIES

Disclaimer: While stories are true accounts, photos and names have been changed to protect the privacy of our youth.

  • Jake came to us angry and scared with no one to turn to. His mother struggled with addiction and he was sent to Bonnie Brae by his Aunt. At first, Jake lashed out and displayed erratic behavior. He really wanted to be a Bonnie Brae Ambassador and represent Bonnie Brae in the community through volunteering and offering tours of campus, but he was turned away due to his behavioral issues. Throughout Jake’s time here, he greatly improved and eventually did get the opportunity to be a Bonnie Brae Ambassador.

    Today, Jake is in the process of working toward his High School Diploma and a part of the Youth Corp. He accredits his strides to success to his time at Bonnie Brae and all that he learned with us.

  • Wyclef lost his mom when he was 9, he subsequently passed through 9 different foster homes in one year before spending the next two years going from treatment facility to foster home and then back to treatment facility. At age 11, he came to Bonnie Brae’s main campus and spent two years learning to manage his behavior and his emotions before successfully moving on to a community based group home. He returned to us as a resident in our Brozowski Liberty House. Staff spent the better part of a year: connecting him to community resources; helping him to manage his emotions; teaching him independent living skills; and, working with him on his relationship skills. Wyclef recently moved out on his own and is on-track to enter an auto-mechanic training program.
