“It woke me up and
put different life goals in front of me. It made me look at
life differently and made me want to accomplish my goals
faster.”
Mr. Larena heard about Brothers United through a flyer that was left on
his apartment door. The name stuck out to him, so he decided
to look into the program and give it a try.
“I didn’t have
anyone else out here. I felt like I was gonna be a part of
something good.”
Mr. Larena joined BU in hopes of making better life decisions and
finding other fathers who he could talk to and learn from.
He expressed that he felt like his coach was designed just
for him because he could relate to him.
Mr. Larena graduated from the program this year. He feels like BU gave
him more understanding, especially when it came to setting
realistic goals for his life.
“I felt blessed at
all times. Y’all came and got me, and I felt comfortable. I
felt like I was at home. I got structure through the rules.
I came home positive and motivated. It made me wake up and
not wanna leave my family. I was thinking about just being
alone, but BU made me see that my family was the most
important thing in the world.”
