A Note From Bob -

Why Help?Few people actually say it out loud, but many probably ask themselves the question, “Why should I help?”

There are Biblical answers to why we help others. One is the call to love your neighbor and then the parable where Jesus tells of a man helping a total stranger. That’s really the only answer we need. But there’s more!

It’s such a privilege to be part of something that really works... That changes lives and futures.

Right now Sheridan House is helping more children and families than ever before in our history. These are children who would have quit school but have gone on to graduate from high school and gone on to college. These are kids who would have become a burden to society; but are now teachers, police officers, pastors and leaders. They have moved from being a burden to being leaders. More significantly, they are children and families who are discovering a relationship with Jesus Christ!

Today literally thousands of children and families are impacted by Sheridan House every month.

When you help Sheridan House you are doing more than helping to change a life, you are helping to change a culture. America can be changed by your house and my house.

And yes, we need your help. We are asking everyone who receives this to consider giving a monthly gift to Sheridan House. We are purposely not suggesting an amount… just asking that you help us help others. Please give what you can and together we can make a difference.

Please use the enclosed envelope to give this month’s gift.

Thank you.

By the time a friend

recommended Sheridan

House to Josh’s mother,

he was literally “a straight

“F” student” and his mother was, in

her own words, “losing all hope for my

son.” The reality is that Joshua’s mother, who

is phenomenal, never gave up on him and

was not about to let him fail.

After spending a year at Sheridan House, Josh

changed his ways and left making all “A’s.” He took

what he learned at Sheridan House and eventually

graduated from Hollywood Hills High School with

a 4.0 grade point average (GPA). Sheridan House

helped turn around the lives of Joshua and his

mother who said, “Only God knows where Josh

would be without the help of Sheridan House.”

But the story of Joshua Samuda is still being

written… he obtained a full academic and athletic

scholarship to the University of Massachusetts and

became an All-American offensive lineman [#50]

and graduated in 2012.

Joshua then tried out for the Miami Dolphins in

the summer of 2012 and made the team! Last

season he played in several games as the center

wearing #64 and the familiar teal and orange of his

hometown team!

At Sheridan House Joshua learned that God loves

him no matter what. The children at Sheridan

House learn to give 100% of their effort at

everything they do. When you help Sheridan

House, you are helping a generation find their gifts

and reach their God given potential.

It is incredibly rewarding to see young men andwomen,likeJosh,turnaroundandinvesttheirtimehelpingkids. It works!

Joshua had to attend four different schools. Every school they placed him in soon wanted him transferred out.
