COMMUNITY SUPPORT
In Central Florida, there are many young adults who have ability and a desire to succeed but are being held back by negative influences in their life. They may be aging out of foster care or simply experiencing uncontrollable circumstances in their community or at home. Community leaders, donors and volunteers struggle to make a lasting impact. Without the support, modeling and mentorship provided by a program such as The Faine House, these individuals face a lifetime of dependency – welfare, jail, addiction, homelessness, abuse.
