Boys in the Attic
First came Ritchie,, then Joe, Tyrone and Max. These troubled young men were not the "Boys of Summer." Thiers was not a stadium where thousands of fans cheered them on. Yet they would become winners, cheered on by a host of fans unheard and unseen. Theirs was a 4th floor attic in an old farmhouse. Two bedrooms, one bath was Home. This, the humble beginning of Hearts and Homes for Youth, caring for over 30,000 since 1964 "As If They Were Our Own."

Juvenile Injustice
Justice for children is not in the eye of the beholder, it's in the eyes of the children. The rest of us think we know what justice is and how it is "dispensed." It's not a matter of law, it's a matter of basic values and it's to be found in our hearts - not in the courts.
