A YMCA Membership for Bennett to go swimming with his housemates

Posted May 4, 2019
Three of the boys in Bennett's group home have involved parents who visit often and have purchased YMCA memberships to visit the pool this summer. Bennett has no one to fill that role for him, and is discouraged that he cannot afford the membership. Bennett's parents nor any family members are there to support him. We want to support him, though! While you can't visit Bennett, you can make a difference in his life by sponsoring his YMCA membership so he can participate in fun activities with his housemates. He loves to swim and there are other YMCA programs that he would also enjoy.

Bennett is 22 years old and lives in IN

Bennett gets along well with his housemates and is generally very agreeable considering his past. Bennett loves to be outdoors, except when it's raining - as he prefers to listen to the rain from inside where he can hear it hitting the roof.
