Success Story Two

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.
