It holds the power to transform a family’s future.

And touch your heart.

It’s rather tiny. Measuring only about seven inches by ten inches, and being just three inches deep. Yet this humble, hand-woven wicker basket holds the potential to change the troubled world of many families. And who knows, maybe the world itself.

Young people can “stray from their path” as they begin to grow. We’ll leave it to the daily news and your imagination as to the many dangers that loom. But, once in crisis, loving parents scramble to find help … only to struggle to afford it.

Out-of-home treatment in a wilderness or residential treatment program is sometimes the only intervention robust enough to affect change. But it’s only the first step. And what comes after these programs can be the most crucial step of all – the transition back home or to living on their own.

Unfortunately, despite knowing their family desperately needs transition support, they fall short of being able to afford this final phase of treatment. This is where generous donors, such as you, can help immensely by partnering with Homeward Bound, an organization dedicated to successfully reuniting families after out-of-home treatment.
