As a child, Trae was headed down a negative path. He was a troublemaker, constantly getting suspended from school. He needed someone to help set him on a better path, and he found the support he needed at Hope Center Inc.
See a video about Trae’s story here.
At the Hope Center, he was able to turn his life around, putting more effort into his schoolwork and finding guidance from staff and his peers. Today, he’s graduating from high school and will be attending college in the fall to become a physical therapist. His future is bright, thanks to the years of support he received from Hope Center Inc.
