📣 Summer Camp Assistance Needed for 13-Year-Old Boy Reuniting with Family:
St. Augustine Youth Services is supporting a family in North Jacksonville as their 13-year-old son transitions home after spending over a year in our Specialized Therapeutic Group Home.
🏡 He was successfully reunited with his mother on May 31, 2025. 🧭 As part of his discharge plan, a structured summer camp was recommended to help him:
- Adjust to being back home ❤️
- Maintain important social connections 🤝
- Continue developing key social skills 🌱
- Build positive routines and friendships in the community 🏀🎨 👩👦👦 His mother has found a wonderful local option—Wilson’s Rising Stars—a camp that understands his behavioral and mental health needs and is conveniently located near their home. 🎯 Cost of Camp (8 Weeks): $1,290 We are reaching out to generous partners and community members to help cover the cost. Two other agencies have already pledged support, and our agency is also contributing. 🙏 We are requesting 1/3 of the total cost: $430, which can be paid directly to the camp. If you're able to help this young man continue his positive progress and build a strong summer experience, please let us know. Your support will make a lasting difference! 💙 Thank you!
