Real Stories. Real People. Right Here in the Marshfield area.

Jenny was in the middle of her parents' divorce and custody battle.  Feeling stuck  she stopped talking about her feelings, and took little interest in her appearance and hygiene.  Soon kids at school starting teasing. 

Jenny's mom asked Children's Service Society, a United Way program, for help.
 
Jenny used this time to talk about her feelings and issues with relationships within the family.  Expressing herself in this way made Jenny more confident to talk with her mother and no longer feels like she needs to choose sides. 

Jenny successfully completed her therapy with a positive outlook, began taking better care of herself and joined a youth group for continuing support and friendship. 
 
Because of your generosity, youth like Jenny will have help when they need it the most.
