The Problem

My goal is to have a place where young people who have no hope, no place to go, the freaks that no one wants, to give them a place to call home. To help them heal from life's hurts and pain, to teach them that it's ok to live life Until I Die. I want to give our generation another chance to make it right. I don't want to just give them a slap on the wrist and medication, but to get down to the root of the problem and fix it. there are so many kids who feel hopeless and unwanted, so they act out, cut themselves, attempt suicide, hurt others, just to get attention, but they are screaming "Help Me, I don't know what to do!" So It is my responsibility to give them a place to call home, a place to heal and to learn that life is not all pain and hurt, but that life is the little things, laughter, love, climbing a mountain, riding a bike. life is just a road, that we walk on to get to where we're going....but you might as well enjoy it.
