TESTIMONIAL

"At Life Decisions, we value making our community a better place. I have seen this through at our community block party and there I seen that alot of people were so happy and thrilled to be there. It's alot of people who support and love what we do as a tribe, we more than these people who just work together, no, we are family! A family that wants to change Rockford by bringing restoration to this city and change the future of the youth because we as youth are the future so we must create a future that can inspire more youth to keep on inspiring other youth to change the future."​

DONATE TODAY

"At Life Decisions, I have a chance to insert my heart into what I do. I know what broken and desperate kids are feeling and thinking. So many kids don’t have a supportive, caring father-figure to help them, someone they can talk to, someone who understands them. That’s what I want to be for them; yes, like a father; only, not a father; but, a mentor; like, Jake is to me."
