These children need us to come along side them–to hold space for them during a difficult time in their lives. If we can get them outside with safe mentors, and teach them how to fly fish, we are giving them tools to cope and experiences that will impact them for many years to come. Every child should have a memory of a big fish they were proud to catch!
