Adopted teen lost 3 moms, then lost his way

My brother and his wife adopted a baby boy from Ethiopia when he was 16 months old. By that time, my new nephew had lost his birth mother and the aunt who had taken him in. My brother and his wife gave him a good, stable, happy home. But then, tragedy struck again. His adoptive mother, my sister-in-law, got ovarian cancer and died at the age of 56 when my nephew was  only 7 years old.  My brother was suddenly a single parent. He's a very good dad and is, in fact, a psychologist and knows parenting strategies very well. But my nephew's heart was broken and he withdrew. When he was 13, his dear cousin (my son) died at the age of 18 because he had experimented with drugs. Instead of a head's up, it had the opposite effect. It was a further confirmation of the hopelessness of everything. He got in with the wrong crowd and got into trouble with the law.  He's a very bright boy, but IF he managed to go to school, it was always late. He got into fights and was on the verge of expulsion.  My brother, juggling single parenthood with full-time job, was getting increasingly worried about his son's safety and welfare.  His son needed intervention, but disciplinary measures , which included considering  military boarding schools, weren't the right path. But one beautiful solution presented itself. The Arivaca Boys Ranch. https://www.arivacaboysranch.com/

(My brother doesn't know I've started this campaign.) When I first learned of this place, I was so excited! Yes, I though, this is exactly the right place for my nephew to find himself, heal his heart and find peace. By the time I had learned about it, my brother had already secured a place for his son. The program is wonderful (video link above), but there are tremendous costs associated with it. It's worth it, of course, to save the soul of this dear sweet boy (and others) who has endured so much tragedy in his 15 years. My brother is prepared to spend a good chunk of his retirement savings to save his son from his own self-destruction. And I want to help. That's why I want to start this campaign.

I'm convinced this program helps save boys from a life of crime and self-destruction. (How sad that the boys who probably need it the most are least likely to wind up there due to lack of funding. Maybe you can help get the word out about this place so that scholarships or sponsorings become available). Watch the videos about the Arivaca Boys Ranch. They will move you, I'm sure.

Since I live in Europe, I've arranged that the funds go directly to the ranch, where there's an account set up for my nephew. Should the amount raised exceed the costs my nephew incurs, the money will go into a slush fund to help in cases where a boy's parents can't make payments. Sadly, there are boys who are abandoned by their parents at the ranch.

Times are tough, I know. So if you can't help financially, please help me get the word out. Thank you!
