 | "Greg was in other placements before Rawhide and the difference is night and day. We never honestly thought we would see such a dramatic turnaround. It's almost overwhelming. We feel truly blessed."

| "Rawhide was a life line that was thrown to my son and safely brought him in from the danger of defeatism, recklessness, and hopelessness. The teachers and the learning methods allowed him to succeed where I knew he would not have.
Paul's behavior has changed in that it reflects the confidence he has in what he's accomplishing. He sensed that the teachers and staff believed he could and would succeed. Paul's relationships with others changed because his relationship with himself changed. He had the time to be alone, away from peers to think about himself and how his choices affect his life."

| "Rawhide has truly been an answer to prayer for our family. Our son has attended Starr Academy since May 2006 and plans on graduating in May 2008. To him Rawhide has been a refuge. He was becoming a depressed and broken young man who was constantly bullied and teased in the public school. At Rawhide he is accepted for who he is by the staff as well as the students. He is becoming a more positive and outgoing young man. We know these changes will make a huge difference to his future."

| "The words that best describe what Rawhide brought to me and my son are that Rawhide gave me my son back.
My son has chosen and was accepted into the police academy at MATC. His behavior has changed from negative to positive. My son's attitude has went from who cares to I definitely need goals and perspectives in his life. The best thing is he found Christ and believes there are better things in life. All due to Rawhide.
Andy, Leah and Pops (Ken), we couldn't of done it without them. They are a part of our life and always will be. Thank you Rawhide. If it wasn't for you all at Rawhide, Andy would have not made it. Thank you from the bottom and top of my heart!"
