An Osprey Backpack for Terrance to use while camping

Posted Mar 28, 2025
Terrance is a resilient teenager who has faced more trauma than anyone his age should have to endure. His grandmother has taken custody of him and his siblings due to the violence and abuse they have experienced. Despite the hardships he has experienced, Terrance has found solace and healing through outdoor adventures and mentorship opportunities within his program. He is now ready to take the next step in his journey by having his own backpacking backpack—one that symbolizes his independence and growth. Having his own backpack will allow him to continue exploring the outdoors, lead others in outdoor mentorship, and engage in his outdoor therapy sessions with confidence. No longer will he need to borrow gear; this backpack will be a tool for Terrance to create his own memories, take ownership of his experiences, and continue to heal and grow. Your support will empower Terrance to move forward with strength and ownership of his adventures.

Terrance is 16 years old and lives in TN

Terrance is a fun-loving and adventurous young man who, despite carrying the heavy weight of trauma from violence at home, maintains an optimistic outlook on life. His resilience is evident in his dedication to his education, as he stays on top of his homework and seeks out guidance from wise adults in his life. Terrance is always looking for opportunities to learn and grow, making the most of every interaction and experience that comes his way. While he may seem carefree on the surface, his thoughtful nature and determination show that he is committed to overcoming his past and forging a brighter future.
