To: YMCA Strong Kids Contributors

I live in a trailer park with my mom. We do not have any money for extras. I like school & school days. It's the weekends I do not like. On weekends the only thing I have to look forward to is my mom's boyfriend coming over. They end up getting in a big fight. Sometimes the cops are called.

I went to the 'Y' & got a discount form & filled it out. Mom gathered up the documents needed. A lot of my friends go there. I am within walking distance. I did not mention the reason of wanting to escape on weekends, as I did not want to hurt her. The discount membership was approved. I took my money & paid what was required.

I want to thank the contributors for giving me something good to look forward to on my weekends.

Sincerely,
Anonymous 15-year old
