TOYA AVERY

There aren’t enough words to express my sincere gratitude for the impact Son of a Saint has had on my son Madden and his development. From the interview process, to orientation, to the ongoing programming in place to nurture his success, the whole team has been deliberate in embodying the Son of a Saint mission statement. Relocating to New Orleans from the West Coast was a challenge as a single parent, and an equally difficult transition for my son. Son of a Saint helped tremendously to ease the adjustment in ways I never thought possible. From the moment Madden was accepted into the program, every staff member began nurturing his well-being and welcomed him with open arms.

The organization provides us with a true sense of community, and there’s never been a moment where Madden has not felt included. We’re constantly sharing the news of how great Son of a Saint is, and steadily looking for ways to pay it forward. The ride has been thrilling so far, and we’re excited about what the future has in store.
