I learned so much about what it means to be a man at the Haven. I came into the Haven a shy person with no drive, but today I can say that I am a better man and a well-rounded person. Dwight not only excelled in the Haven program, but with the support and guidance of the Haven staff, Dwight was able to move into his own apartment. The Haven staff pulled together to provide Dwight with furniture and other needed items for his new apartment.
