Hate that there liers

I was a child who went here... this review is hard for me because it brings up a lot of conflicting feelings. I was here for years. I was an out-of-control child with severe abuse that reflected in my day-to-day life. I thought this place was a joke all the way up until the day I left. My family hated it because of the contact restrictions. But coming from somebody who was forced through this program has helped me in ways I’ll never be able to explain. They don’t do it in ways that you see the progress. They break you as a person and give you building blocks to rebuild you into a better person. It takes taking away the child’s broken life template and giving them a new one..
I was in the Allimang house ( I don’t know if I spelled that right it’s been years ) I was a very severe case and if they could help me they could help your child too!
Today I have two brilliant children I manage two stores as a medical consultant. I am drug-free And a couple months away from my bachelors degree in small business management with a specialization of entrepreneurship. Find me on Facebook if you want to know more.

I was a resident for about 2 years. I absolutely resented it while i was there. But now that im an adult and think about what they helped me with in life its life changing. Yeah at the time i would of not recommended it to anybody. But Marsh cottage made me somthing i can say i am proud of in life. I am now 22 years old. Clean off drugs. Making 19$ a hour working in the hillsborro,illlinois patton coal mine. I respect the little things in life now. I absolulety adore mrs amber and the work she does with the children at the horse barn and how she lets people that most have lost hope in help others. I especially wanna throw a big shout out and thank you to Mr.Arius Young Les Rey And Scott Ole. Them particular staff i owe my life too. Mr arius taught me never to give up in life no matter waht the obstacle. And to stay a1. Hope u read this mr a1 MOISHHH and mr ray taight me what it is to be a man. This man would dedicate hours everyday just working with me. He taight me 2 cycle motor mechanics. Just stuff my "dad" never did for me. And mr.ole god did we butt heads. But you know what you taight me to respect authority because even if it seems wrong to you its the right thing and not everything in life will go ur way its how you portray yourself while dealing with it that shows you what type of man you are. I will and always will thank kemmerer village and mainly marsh cottage home of the #MARTIANS for everything. Honestly guys thank you - Cody Eardley 2012-2015ish
