A Path to Win
Imagine being dumped on the street knowing nothing of finding and maintaining your own housing, getting and keeping employment, managing personal finances or buying and caring for transportation. Imagine your only crime is turning 18. It happens more than we would think.
Where can you find help today?
Without addictions, mental health issues or trouble with the law the waiting list for housing from government resources can be six months or more. Six months with no where to go and unprepared for life. A struggle everyday for a place to sleep, eat, and call home.
Who will step in and finish mentoring these young men into adulthood?
Who will step in and break the cycle of poverty and dependence?
The Lionheart Program was born for young men just like this, that we saw needed someone to finish raising them up.
Our promises to your community...
