Once in a while we get the chance to support a person in more ways than our animal program. We are always excited to help generate or provide opportunity to those who might not otherwise get it.

We recently had the chance to do this for a boy who came to us monthly with a boy's home.  We had learned that he was due to graduate from the program and had been doing very well. The next time that he came to us, we asked him what his plans were after his graduation from the boy's home. He said that his life dream was to be a firefighter helicopter pilot. He further explained that he had never been up in a helicopter before, so although he wanted to do this as a career, he had never experienced it before.

Little did he know that Jay knew someone that owned a helicopter pilot training school.  After getting through all of the red tape he was up in a helicopter for the first time...YES!

After he landed he said, "Now I know for sure what I want to do for the rest of my life. I can't wait to get out of the home and get things going."

We told him that if he wanted to contact us after he graduated, we would support him by helping him put together a grant application to get the money for him to pay for the $15,000 it takes to get through training.

What a success story! And if he is reading this, we have faith in you, and know that you can do it!!!
