SUCCESS STORY

One of our clients, Jeremy Martinez, shared his story of experiencing homelessness, being a foster youth, dropping out of school, but eventually choosing to turn his life around in the most amazing way.

With the help of FBSMV, he gained the tools to succeed and graduate high school at the top of his class, earned scholarships, and now he supports himself financially, has a full time job, a new car, and is in a healthy relationship.

Jeremy’s story is PROOF that a young person going through the hardest of circumstances can find success with the right support.

This is what we mean when we say fighting for our future, one kid at a time. We’re so proud of your Jeremy!
