Mom and two children under the age of 10 were homeless and wandering from friend to friend. Mom had experienced a nomadic childhood and was repeating the same pattern with her children. Lehigh STOPP worked with mom to complete paperwork for welfare and help with job hunting.
When I arrived at the home of the identified child, in Allentown, I was informed that the child regularly missed his daily medication which was required and that if it continued it could result in death.
The identified family’s home, in Hellertown, was infested with bed bugs and was a complete mess inside upon first arrival to their home.

When Justice Works began with Jonathan he was being transferred from CHOY to Diakon Wilderness center. Jonathan was resistant to Diakon and that program and had behavioral issues throughout the program.
