Help plant the seeds of change at BOYS TOWN
I received in the mail a package 
of "Forget-Me-Nots" with an inscription that read:


Help plant the seeds of change at BOYS TOWN

I was not familiar with this organization so I had to look them up…Wow! They've actually been around since 1917 and doing so much to help children and families. 


PREFECT for my blog highlighting great people and organizations doing amazing things in the world. 

BOYS TOWN – Saving Children, Healing Families

For nearly a century Boys Town has given at-risk children the family, support and care they need to overcome their circumstances and realize their potential. They are driven by an unwavering belief that every child and every family has the potential to succeed, regardless of their circumstances.

WHAT THEY DO –
Boys Town Overview
Right now, in communities throughout the country, hundreds of thousands of children are living in fear, seeking guidance and in desperate need of compassion. Powerful forces are also at work tearing at the fabric of our families. Wherever these children and families are hurting, Boys Town is helping. With the support of our generous donors, we’re reuniting kids with their families, finding foster homes for others, providing a Boys Town family for those with nowhere else to turn, and still others are receiving help at home where they can remain together as families.

MORE ABOUT BOYS TOWN –

While ministering to the homeless on the streets of Omaha, Nebraska, Father Edward Joseph Flanagan developed a lifelong interest in young people and their struggle to grow into responsible, productive members of society. Today, with your help, we continue Father Flanagan's mission of saving children and healing families.

Boys Town is also home to parenting and child behavior experts who have developed a wealth of original content over the years that is available for free in our For Parents section. From toddlers to teens, if you have a question you need addressed, chances are we've got an article, video or Q&A on the subject.
