"After returning from New Day Camp last year, Christopher was a different boy, The first thing he told me upon returning was that he learned that he didn’t have to be afraid anymore. He finally understood that it wasn’t his fault that his parents were incarcerated. He said that a junior counselor at the camp had shared with him that she had lived through a similar experience and took the time to pray with him. When he started back to school, he did so with his head held high."

 

Mrs. Ellis,

Christopher’s grandmother.
