Testimonials

From Our Kids & Parents:

"It is surreal to me that I start as a youth counselor at a boy's group hope tomorrow. As many of you know, I lived at...Idaho Youth Ranch for one year. I was 14 years old, depressed, suicidal, self-loathing, and lost. If it weren't for the adults that helped shape me into the woman I am today, I simply wouldn't be here. I am taking the time to thank the ones who looked past my flaws and saw potential in me. If I could do that for just one kid, my heart will be complete." 

"We got so lucky the first time"—referring to her daughter's suicide attempt— "I don't think we would have gotten lucky a second time." She has had her ups and downs, but I think this saved her life. Thank you!" 

For Our Team Appaloosa Members: 

"I was fortunate in the lottery of life. Others were less so, most often through no fault of their own. Supporting IYR is a simple way of recognizing life can be difficult; however, we can work to clear rocks from the path ahead and lift up others if they happen to stumble." - Wayne R., Boise

"[I support Idaho Youth Ranch] because they fill the gap with residential treatment that no other organization in Idaho does for youth. IYR incorporates research-driven treatment models to affect change with kids." Amy B., Coeur d'Alene
