Life at the Ward home...

When you think about second chances what comes to mind? Today when I think about second chances I think about The Ward Home. What is the Ward Home? It is a Independent Living Program. Kids who have been living in foster care or in group homes and are ready to go out on thier own. There are many exciting stories coming from the Ward Home. For example young adults getting further with thier education, girls getting to attend prom, and even going back home to be with their families.
The Ward Home is set up in apartment like housing, so the kids have the responsibility of cleaning and taking care of their living space. They are taught the basic skills on how to basically live on their own and make it happen.
The Ward Home accepts all different people from those expecting babies to those who are as young as 16 years old.
The Home encourages you to continue your education and learn how to budget money and such lifeskills as that.
I believe The Ward Home is a great place for kids who just need that extra attention to make it somewhere in life. :}
