Springboard provides a safe environment for girls under the age of 18. In order to protect their confidentiality, we do not post their photos. Each student bio listed below is a real story of a Springboard student. You will be receiving a Good News Letter each month from a current student, but names will be changed to protect their identities. Your sponsorship donation will go to support stories like these. Thank you for understanding and thank you for loving them back to life.
Ashley - Age 17
I’ve struggled with suicidal tendencies and self-harm and I have also struggled with drug abuse. Being at Springboard though I am learning how to trust God. Being here is teaching me and equipping me to not only deal with my issues but how to heal from them as well. While I’m in the program, I want God to humble my heart and renew my perspective; and I want Him to teach me how to follow Him wholeheartedly. I want to be full of hope for my future. I want to trust God completely with everything I have to face.
