Visit the charity's profileNathan Nelson (pictured above) graduated from Albany High School in June 2019. It was a milestone his family wasn't sure was possible his freshman year. "If we had not found Kerr, I would have probably ended up in juvenile detention," Nathan said. "I've gone from a depressed person to a changed, healthy, mature young man."
Kerr's team approach provided the Nelson family with wrap-around services. "They didn't just stabilize him and send him back into the world, instead they came up with a plan and we started to feel a sense of hope," said his mother, Kristie Nelson.
