Jonathan's Place

While Maddie’s journey brought anxiety and feelings of abandonment, Jonathan’s Place provided her with therapy and tools she needed to cope and heal from her trauma. Maddie often talked about her feeling of abandonment and at times, did everything she could to self-sabotage her placement at Jonathan’s Place. But our team refused to give up on her. We supported her through her challenges and celebrated her successes. “A huge highlight was at Maddie’s high school graduation, the school had her stand up and they shared her story about her journey in foster care and everything she overcame,” Stephanie said. “Many of our staff came out to support her and there was not a dry eye amongst us.” To learn more about Maddie's story, click the link here: https://lnkd.in/g67JuUr4

By the time she was placed in our care at 14, Maddie had lost much of her childhood innocence. Adjusting to her new surroundings proved incredibly difficult, compounded by her mental health issues that had been neglected for so long. “She had a culture shock coming into foster care and having to learn how to take care of herself and her body,” Stephanie said. “She didn’t look like everybody else, she experienced abuse… it was just really hard for her.” Her pain manifested in self-harming behaviors, and for a while, it felt like no one could truly reach her. Yet, the staff at Jonathan’s Place didn’t give up. They patiently learned her triggers and helped her find the support she desperately needed, slowly guiding her toward healing.

Maddie,19, is the loving and selfless “big sister” type, always eager to care for others despite the deep scars of her past. Her early years were marked by gut-wrenching abuse and neglect, where the home she should have felt safe in became a source of pain. Time and again, she tried to escape, clutching her backpack and dreaming of a life free from fear. To learn more about Maddie's story click the link here: https://lnkd.in/g67JuUr4
