Hear My Story
I didn’t start BridgeOurYouth because life was easy. I started it because I survived what many don’t.
There were moments in my life when I questioned whether I even wanted to live. I remember being in a hospital room, barely able to hear. My ears faded in and out as doctors shouted, “How is he still alive?” and “He’s losing too much blood.” Those seconds felt like eternity.
I’ve battled mental health challenges, homelessness, and grew up in the foster care system — shuffled from place to place until the system had nothing left for me. I was abused in ways no child should ever experience. And when there was no more room, no more help, I was thrown into the streets.
No safety net. No family. No support. No one to call.
But somehow, I’m still here.
This organization was born from that pain.
Built on faith, purpose, and an unshakable promise — that no young person should ever feel alone, forgotten, or unsupported.
BridgeOurYouth exists to put every person in a winning position, no matter where they come from. It’s for the ones who’ve been told they wouldn’t make it — the misunderstood, the broken, the discarded.
I didn’t have resources. I didn’t have wealth.
What I did have was resilience, vision, and a calling to turn my struggle into someone else’s breakthrough.
I believe your pain is a seed. And when it’s planted in the right soil — with love, structure, and opportunity — it will bear fruit.
That’s what BridgeOurYouth is.
A place where pain becomes purpose. A place where lives are rebuilt, not just repaired.
Thank you for reading my story. If you believe in second chances, you belong here, with us.
Dear Friends, Supporters, and Board Members,
As members of the board, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your continued support of the B.O.Y. (BridgeOurYouth) Program. Your commitment makes it possible for us to serve our underserved and homeless youth, providing them with opportunities for stability, growth, and a brighter future.
In the early stages of establishing our organization—during a time of great uncertainty and change—we often questioned whether our vision could survive. There were moments when the future seemed unclear, and the road ahead appeared steep. But through reflection and a deep love for the young people we serve, we found clarity and renewed purpose.
You are at the heart of our mission. Whether you’re a donor, mentor, or community partner, your involvement is a powerful testament to the belief that our youth deserve more. By embracing this program, our youth are not only finding shelter—they are discovering healing, purpose, and the tools to rewrite their stories.
This journey is about more than immediate needs. It’s about empowering young individuals to grow, to dream, and to become leaders in their own lives. Your support allows us to make that possible.
Thank you for walking alongside us. Together, we are building not just a program, but a pathway to lifelong transformation.
With gratitude,
On Behalf of the Board
