Beth and Forrester Smith Mrs. Smith Public Relations Chairman Susan Lewis Estee Kellogg Jean Bell These children come from broken homes and bad family situations. While they are in Boysville’s care they receive a variety of support services that encompass behavioral, clinical, health and development. The start of the 2014 year began with the reopening of Ellison Cottage as our new Emergency Shelter. The cottage had been closed for over several years due to its aging condition. Ellison Cottage underwent an extensive restoration process to ensure that it would be safe and be somewhere the children could call home while they were at Boysville. Ellison Cottage is now home to those children ages 5-17 and has increased Boysville’s capacity to help these at risk youth from 12 to 18 children. After recently placing 14-yearold Johnny at Ellison, all of his anxieties seemed to diminish when he walked in the building. With just a plastic bag holding all of his possessions, he stated, “I thought Boysville was going to be a bad place to live.” The increased space has also allowed the shelter staff to have offices in the cottage to create a more cohesive work environment and flow of information between the program and administrative staff. Thanks to the Charity Ball Association funds, Boysville is able to ensure that children enter into an inviting, comfortable and beautiful space where the healing process begins. With more room to house children, Boysville can continue to take large sibling groups and provide the services needed to help reunify them with their families. Linda and Stephen Blount Sponsored by Kathryn LeFlore Seis 10 In 2013 the Boysville Emergency Shelter helped over 160 children. The children who come to the emergency shelter range in age from a day old to 17.

They were also in need of food, clothing and birth certificates for the younger children. Birth certificates are required to enroll a child in school. The mother of the children mentioned how important it was to get her three youngest children enrolled into school at an early age. The three children who ranged in age from 3-6 would all be eligible to enroll in public school and Pre-K for SA. CAM helps individuals and families in crisis with food, clothing, financial assistance for rent and utilities, ID recovery (i.e., a birth certificate to enroll in school or an ID to begin a new job), prescription drug assistance, and prayers. A coalition of area churches and individuals dedicated to helping families in crisis conducted a Back-to-School Drive for backpacks with school supplies that were available for the children at CAM. The families leave with basic necessities and renewed hope for their future.

His mother was looking for resources to help guide her family through this new season of loss. She turned to the Children’s Bereavement Center of South Texas, where she enrolled him in the “Little Hearts” 8 week program. She saw such progress. As the year anniversary of her husband’s death approached, she decided to enroll Reid again as new levels of questioning and developmental concerns came up about Daddy. She remembered that, as Reid would enter the center, he was quiet and contemplative and each time he would come out skipping, with a lighter heart. Each child expresses grief differently; some paint, some do crafts, others enjoy music or drama, Reid likes to go to the “Touhey’s Rompus Room” where he can physically release his nervous energy. Mom also gets a break in the “adult room,” where she gets much needed focused time to process her grief as well. The Center provides them all a safe place to talk, listen, and know they are understood. Reid’s sister, Gracie, will be able to benefit from the Bereavement Center as well when she turns three.

The teens began climbing separate forty-foot-tall poles. The boy worked his way up his pole and towards the girl’s pole by traversing a cable suspended up high between them. He walked across the cable methodically, concentrating on every small step he took until he reached the girl’s pole. There he found the girl below shaking and holding tightly to the pole. His new focus became helping the girl climb higher. Calmly, he guided the girl up the pole. With encouraging words and a helping hand, he helped the girl recognize her power to overcome the fear she faced at that moment. She made it to the cable next to him. From the ground, the boy’s mom cried, and the girl’s family cheered. Once the pair descended from the cable, the families spoke of the strength they shared. They used words like “brave” and “helpful” to describe the teenagers, and “caring” and “supportive” to describe the family members on the ground. This is the type of success celebrated at ChildSafe. Child victims and their families learn there are others who struggle because of abuse and neglect and, more importantly, that there are others out there who are trustworthy and willing to help them reach their goals.

She came into the program as a youth from a single parent household who struggled with behavioral issues. Karen Norman Mueller President 2003 She spent her middle school years alternating between public and alternative schools. Her participation in House of Teens gave her the knowledge and skills for a personal transformation to take place, as evidenced by Acari’s improved behavior. Over several years of continued involvement, Acari developed into an active leader and strong role model in her community, school and the House of Teens. This past spring, Acari’s hard work and determination paid off as she graduated in the top 11% of her high school class! Through the support of MEYO and collaboration with College Vista, Acari was recently accepted at her top choice of universities. After completing her undergraduate degree, she plans to pursue higher education as a means of achieving her dream of becoming a cardiologist. Divine Redeemer Presbyterian Church’s MEYO program empowers its participants through an environment that encourages Personal Development, Service to the Community, Solid Character Formation, and a Dedication to Post-High School Learning. After-school programs include Peace Pals for first through fifth grade students and House of Teens for sixth through twelfth graders. MEYO is also associated with the Rivera Scholarship Fund.

My grandfather, Oscar Ehrenberg, was a survivor of the Holocaust. He was an important role model for me because he was kind, charitable and resilient in spite of experiencing the worst atrocity in modern history. He was one of the lead individuals in the creation of the Museum and one of the largest original donors. Learning through history so that we do not repeat our past mistakes is one of the primary lessons we learn from the Museum, and it is a great legacy from my grandfather for the city of San Antonio. The Museum promotes understanding, remembrance and education and serves as a reminder that we must all strive to live together in peace and harmony. Lizzy Peggy Allison President 2008 50 The Holocaust Memorial Museum is an important educational institution in San Antonio. Each year thousands of junior and high school students learn about the Holocaust, genocide, and how to prevent this from happening, through personal action.

You may notice the difference in their hair and skin tones—they call themselves salt and pepper. Born with albinism, Danny has little or no pigment in his eyes, skin, or hair. When you meet him, he’ll tell you right away, “I’m legally blind.” Jill Vassar Database Management Chairman Jo Lynne Meador Marty, born one minute older, is very protective of Danny. When they are outside playing and he hears a car coming, Marty immediately makes sure that Danny is safe. The Blind Children’s Education Program, funded by The Charity Ball Association, has meant a lot to the Kazala family. Since its inception in October 2013, more than 100 children have been served in San Antonio. Participating in group outings to the Zoo, the Beeping Easter Egg Hunt, Family Fun Pizza Night and the upcoming Braille and assistive technology programs has introduced Danny to other children that have severe vision issues like him. Not the only “cane” walker in the group, Danny has named his cane “Luke Skywalker” because it helps him see. Children who have severe vision impairment face unique challenges and require assistive technology and specialized support and training in order to be successful in school. Without the proper support and assistance, many intelligent and capable blind children may fall behind in school or even be assigned to special education classes simply because of their physical challenges. The program ensures children like Daniel will have the opportunity to gain the skills and training necessary to achieve independence and success in both school and life.

Nick is an inspiration to those around him. Carolyn Beidenharn Nick has physical limitations due to cerebral palsy; however, that does not stop him from living a full and productive life. He is bright, articulate, fun loving and serves as both a spokesperson and ambassador for Mission Road Ministries. He is one of the welcoming speakers at the MRDC event each year. Nick lives under the umbrella of the Mission Road Developmental Center and works at the Unicorn Center, Inc., both of which are agencies that The Charity Ball Association has funded. Each child is provided a patient and loving caregiver at Mission Road. Living at MRDC, for Nick, affords him the opportunity to have an independent, fulfilled life. The Unicorn Center provides social as well as employment opportunities to people with disabilities within our San Antonio community. Lynn Ziegler Suzanne and Rick Cavender His favorite singer is Miley Cyrus, because as he poignantly describes, one of her songs inspired him when he was feeling low. “There’s always gonna be another mountain.

Her family moved from rental home to rental home and she attended several schools. Due to a lack of resources the family became very transient. By the time Ashlee was in high school she had fallen behind due to missing school, taking care of her younger siblings and lack of support at the schools she attended. Ashlee’s father encouraged her to move to San Antonio for school, stability and future opportunities. They heard about San Antonio Can High School, which welcomes students throughout the school year, offers smaller classes, provides individual attention and with hard work, you could catch up and graduate in a reasonable time. In 2010, Ashlee moved and began her new life. Ashlee met with her student advisor and enrolled at San Antonio Can High School without knowing anyone there, but that quickly changed. A thoughtful and outgoing teen, she blossomed and became a friend to all who met her. She enjoyed attending school, felt comfortable and enjoyed the support she received from her advisor and teachers, “I was surprised that they cared and noticed. They called you if you weren’t at school and they helped if you needed extra help with course work,” she said. Francie Calgaard Mission San José 82 She tried out for and made the volleyball team. Ultimately, Ashlee excelled at school and is excelling at a stable life. She has a part-time job that she has maintained for more than a year, and is excited about her future as a high school graduate.

He came into the center as a very shy child who kept to himself most of the time. He would not socialize with the other children in his class and would not eat during meal times. To help raise John’s confidence, his teacher would create special activities for him so that he could gain confidence in himself and want to socialize with his classmates. As he began to interact with other children, the teachers noticed that he was not as verbal as the other children. Using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire, John’s teacher noticed that he was not at the developmental point he should have been at for his age. The teachers knew that their daily curriculum and activities would need to be changed to help John get to the point where he needed to be. When John was ready to transition to the next class, the teacher continued to help him with his speech delay by using flash cards and numerous verbal cues throughout the day. After several months John was re-assessed, and he showed improvement with not only his cognitive development but with his social/emotional development as well. Today John is outgoing and very social in his class. He has continued to show improvement with his language skills, and the teachers continue to help him every day that he is here at the center. The teachers continuously look for ways to help not only John but the other children in the center as well.
