Ryan began his journey with Youth Homes after being removed from an abusive and neglectful home. After a year of being in residential treatment, Ryan was ready for a foster family and was placed with Amy.

Keon* was referred to Youth Homes by his elementary school. Sadly, Keon's bright and witty personality was being overshadowed by negative behaviors due to a history of trauma and mental health challenges. Unfortunately, these challenges created problems related to school--Keon frequently refused to attend school and when he did, his severe tantrums resulted in suspension.
