The kind of close, nurturing attention by the teachers, social workers, psychologists and staff at Positive Tomorrows, gives these kids hope that might otherwise be completely absent in their lives. I'm so glad that there is a place that kids with few other options can find enough trust that they'd want to move in. With that kind of trust - anything is possible. Susan, thanks for sharing.

I'd also like to share the story of two brothers who started our school last August, making it plain they hated school and had no use for any of us. A week later, they were asking if they could sleep at school--the one place where life wasn't so chaotic. The boys have now transitioned into public school, but end of semester testing showed that one of them had improved a grade level in every area tested, while his brother did nearly as well. And all in one semester! Every dollar you give will be well-spent. As the executive director of Positive Tomorrows, I second Peter's request!
