Finding Her Future - Ja'Maiya's Story

When Ja'Maiya arrived at Boys Town, she had already suffered a lifetime of loss, beginning with her Mom when she was a baby and later, her Grandmother who raised her. She already felt lost when she entered foster care and it only got worse until she arrived a Boys Town.

“If not for Boys Town, I am sure that I would have been a runaway doing lots of drugs,” she said. Boys Town helped Ja'Maiya change her life. She matured, overcame hurdles, and became actively involved in school life. She had never planned to attend college, but through Boys Town’s Successful Futures program, she is now pursuing a degree in nursing and looks forward to the future.

“Blood doesn’t make a family, love does,” said Ja'Maiya. “I will forever be grateful to Boys Town for that.”
