I am writing this to encourage the staff at New Horizons. My child graduated from New Horizons in 2000. It took a lot of courage to bring my child to the Marion campus in the summer of 1999 to head for Canada. I prayed about this decision for a year, and knew clearly in my heart, that God was directing me to New Horizons. The courage was not needed just for the monetary amount needed for this program, but mostly for the trust that must be placed in the New Horizons staff. When I pulled into the parking lot that summer day, I will never forget the words that were spoken to me. They were, “We are aware of the situation.” That may sound like nothing to most of you, but for a mother that was painfully seeing her child head down the wrong road for a number of years, with no one to help, these words were the deepest comfort to my mother’s heart.
