Before Dillon came to us at Murphy-Harpst, he was one of the dozens of vulnerable children across the state of Georgia who spent time at a hotel because of a lack of available foster beds. While he was at the hotel, he asked employees if he could help out to stay busy. Dillon finally received a placement at Murphy-Harpst’s main campus in Cedartown and then became part of our Transitional Living Program (TLP). He just began his studies at Columbus State University, add while he’s there he’ll be working at the hotel where he was once placed!

Hear more of Dillon’s story in our recent video on Foster Care:

Additionally, Dillon was recently included in a local news story by ANF Atlanta on our equine therapy program:

We couldn’t be prouder of Dillon and all that he’s accomplished, and we wish him the best of luck in his studies at CSU!
