He didn't hesitate torecommend Pinehav€n to me.

After some thlngsfa ling lnto p ace to make it posslble for my daughterto attend yoLr progfam I

brousht you a streettolgh girlthat was hurt inside and tryinsto hurt herself.As she wentthoughtthe months began to seethe change in her and the sweet.hild lonce knew coming backto life,As the months turned to years she rnade the choice herse fto stayat Pinehaven unti shegraduated high schoo.

Thefoundation in God and the work ethic that was installed in her at Pinehaven has been such
