"As a kid without parents and family, I've always had behavioral problems and I know how it is to be alone and unhappy. A lot of people think and say, "Why can't they change?". Well, I say it's hard until you are in the right environment and with the right people to help you change. I thank Greenacres for being that right environment and for helping me be a better person. They helped me emotionally and physically and I feel better about myself. Greenacre Homes is and always will by my family." - Chris L., former resident and student
