“Boysville gave me a family. The orphan is now a son.”
“I lived at Ridgeway with the blessing of Frank & Rosa Buggs has houseparents. I can say Boysville changed my life. I’m now a college graduate, a father, and a small business owner. Wouldn’t change it for anything.”
“Well I lived there all through my elementary school years in the 80’s it was amazing place was surely glad I was able have safe place and people to care about me Kris and Karla was one best house parents that i had pleasure of knowing. I lived there when first time girls started to live they had the one big house.”
“Growing up and being taken from my family was the hardest thing for me. But when i went to Boysville it changed my life forever along with my brother and sister they thought me so much kept me busy and having the houseparents there when you didn’t have your own parents. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be the person that i am today and i thank them for everything they have done for me.”
WHERE HEALING BEGINS
Boysville Children’s Home and Shelter, the Home with a Heart, was founded in 1943 as a result of Rev. Don Holiman’s observation of orphaned, homeless and abandoned boys sleeping in San Antonio’s Travis Park. Today, we provide a continuum of trauma-informed services and care for children and caregivers affected by abuse, neglect, and family crisis. Through holistic wrap-around services, we provide each child the opportunity to heal from past trauma while focusing on their future.
