New Hiking Boots for Russell who works and attends school

Posted May 13, 2019
This summer we will be taking a group of young men on a 3 day camping trip to Red River Gorge. Isaiah has earned a spot to attend this trip because of his leadership skills and success in our independent living program. This will be the first tent camping trip for our young people. We will be talking leadership and relationships with them while exploring the Gorge! Each attendee will need hiking boots and we are asking for an REI gift card so we can take them to purchase proper fitting footwear for this trip!

Russell is 24 years old and lives in OH

Russell is in our independent living program learning the life skills he will need to be a successful young adult upon leaving care. He is a shining star in this program. He is attending school and maintaining a job. He also keeps his apartment neat and tidy. He likes to go to concerts with friends and has newfound love for going to the gym.
