Did you know last month was National Child Abuse Prevention Month? At Boysville we maintain a perpetual awareness of the needs of abused children because of the unyielding demand for our services and care and we’ve never been more resolute in our efforts to provide a safe, family environment for children in need so they may become responsible adults. The reason for this is really quite simple; children thrive in an environment where their well-being is a priority. Moreover, when a promise-filled atmosphere surrounds them it enables them to develop into resilient individuals who have been empowered with the ability to counter the negative effects and impact of abuse, and replace them with ripples of achievement and lifelong success in the endeavor of their choosing. We are continually able to build promise in the lives of the children due to the generous support and contributions of people just like you. Your financial support for the children of Boysville is a testament to your concern of child abuse prevention and the need to provide a shelter from the storms that these young lives have already weathered not just for one month, but 365 days a year. With every gift of support, you are effectively touching the future and sending a message to the children that their lives truly do matter. I hope that someday there will no longer be a need for a month to raise awareness about the national plight of child abuse. Nevertheless, until that day, thank you for all that you do to build promise for our future—the children.

Can You Find the Egg? Our annual Easter Egg Hunt was a success this year thanks to Randolph AFB Chapel Middle School Youth Group for supplying the eggs. The children (ranging from toddlers to middle school age) had an exciting time in the courtyard hunting for eggs that not only had candy inside, but fun mini toys as well. The high schoolers wrapped it up with the Easter Scavenger Hunt hunting for clues on campus for the grand prize of three chocolate bunnies. A Walk on “Glory Road” We had our annual Black History Month dinner to celebrate and highlight African American history. The children watched the critically acclaimed movie “Glory Road,” the true story of how Texas Western (University of Texas at El Paso) coach Don Haskins led the first all-black starting line-up for a college basketball team to the NCAA national championship in 1966. At the end of the movie, there was an exhibit set up where residents could come by and learn more facts about the coach and team. We want to give special A WALK Strike a pose!

In December, Taylor was finally able to go “I looked at her and I saw me again at 16.” 7| SPRING 2015 “Do it! Don’t hesitate and start to talk your way out of it. It is not easy, but it’s worth it.” Kyle, Taylor and Melissa enjoy time together at home. home to the “family” she always longed to have. “When I got here it was around Christmas and I cried, I just was grateful they welcomed me in with open arms,” Taylor expressed. “The first few months were challenging though.” Both newly minted foster parents nod in agreement. “It’s just an adjustment and we all are learning each other, but it’s going smoothly. We know it won’t be perfect,” explains Kyle. So what helped Kyle and Melissa with fostering a teenager? They credit the mentorship being a great predecessor. “It gives you time to get to know the child and for them to build a trusting relationship with you,” Melissa explains. They also cite Boysville staff and training as a tremendous help. “The whole process has been easy; everyone (staff) has been so nice and helpful. It is a great support system we can lean on when we have struggles.” So what advice do they have to offer to potential foster parents? “Do it! Don’t hesitate and start to talk your way out of it. It is not easy, but it’s worth it.” Interested in fostering? Contact Boysville today!
