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.
