Many thanks to Liberty Thompson for bringing us up to date on JEMfriends. They currently have two girls homes with a boys home scheduled to open in Nampa very soon. They are also starting an "apartment readiness" program. JEMfriends, started by Liberty in 2008, works with young people who have "aged out" of foster care and lack some "life skills" to go out on their own just yet. If you would be interested in sharing your skills or being a mentor, contact Liberty. She was accompanied by her one year old, Jayna!.
