When D’Kerio as 16, he came to us for help after experiencing abuse, abandonment and an unstable home environment. Now, at 26 years old, D’Kerio stands by the tools and skills he learned from his counselors. He recently graduated from college with a degree in social work and is planning to help other young people find their own path to hope and healing. He returned to the Bartlett Campus in Memphis, Tennessee, as the keynote speaker for our 2019 graduation ceremony; sharing his story and inspiration with the children in our care.
