A Chance for Reggie to Give Back Through a Mission Trip to Virginia

Posted Apr 10, 2019
Reggie has been offered an opportunity to go on a mission trip to Virginia with a church that has teamed up with his group home. He and the team will be doing service-based things such as moving boxes, painting, grounds keeping, and home improvement. Reggie will make new connections in this community as well as the church, which could serve him later in life as he grows into adulthood. Also, the school they are helping serves at-risk youth with similar backgrounds to Reggie, so he could interact with some of those youth and possibly mentor or help them in other ways. When asked why he wanted to go on this trip, he said "Because a lot of people have helped me with my childhood, and I want to help others."

Reggie is 20 years old and lives in IN

Reggie has never seen the ocean, but he loves sea life. One trip to an aquarium was all it took to get him hooked! No one from his family has ever graduated from high school, but Reggie is determined to blaze his own path and wants to go to college to become a marine biologist. Alternatively, he says he may join the Navy to be able to travel and see more oceans, but he isn't quite sure yet. Reggie is tall and athletic, and he loves to run track, especially the relay races.
