Help me stop youth violence! I have teamed up with one of my coworkers to raise awareness and funds for Central Indiana Youth for Christ’s Juvenile Justice Ministry where they help high risk teens succeed. My goal is to reach $1,000 for this great cause. If I reach $1,000 I will rappel 17 stories down the Barnes & Thornburg building on September 28, 2018. Not only is this a great cause to stop youth violence and riase awareness, but also to show Gods love.

My team caption said it perfectly " Every day I work with children and young adults who are trapped in a cycle of poverty and violence. Every day I watch as they repeat the same mistakes of their parents/family largely because it is what they know, what is available to them and what they understand to be normal through their eyes. I witness their frustration, unhappiness, and search for more.

You can not replicate what you have not seen. Many people struggle to break their families patterns, not because they do not want to but rather because they do not know how. They do not have someone to show them how things can be different, to help them when it gets complicated, to believe in them when they want to give up, to remind them things can get better.  Central Indiana Youth for Christ aims to provide them with skills, mentors, and opportunities who can do just that." 

Help us help these teens, raise awareness, and show Gods love!
