Our Mission
Letter from our Executive Director, Rebecca Limbaugh
Hello Friends of Boys Hope Girls Hope of Detroit,
The outpouring of love and support from the community this summer has given Boys Hope Girls Hope of Detroit a new outlook of Hope for our future.
After reading our last newsletter, so many of you reached out to donate or offer event services and even volunteers to work with our Scholars. We're grateful for you and your interest in our programs and want to say thank you for helping us change lives.
A special thank you to Dan Liable, our board chair, Board of Directors, Donors, and Community Partners for your unwavering support.
With Sincere Gratitude,
Featured Team Member and Scholar
Alexis Patmon, Residential Counselor
During our Christmas Party at the Residential Hope House, she sang karaoke with the scholars. For our annual Festival of Hope Event she danced with her cousin and touched the crowd. She also wrote an original poetry piece for Reading Month and shared it with Academy.
Recently she's partnered with Jazmine, another Residential Counselor, with creating a self care/life-skills series that the young ladies at the Hope House have found to be fun and insightful.
Isabella Servin, Detroit Cristo Rey HS- Class of 2020
UofM Ann Arbor Nursing School- Class of 2024
"This summer I’ve had the privilege to work in the Pediatric Cardio-Thoracic ICU at Mott hospital, The University of Michigan’s children’s hospital. As a tech, I assist nurses in the patient care for infants that have recently undergone heart surgery. I also play a role in the transitioning of patients into ICU care, such as collecting labs, connecting chest suction, and setting up their cardiac monitors.
I am enthusiastic to take what I have learned this summer and apply it into my clinical rotations during my last year at UM’s School of Nursing. The support of BHGH has allowed me to reach my full potential academically, without which I could not have gotten this far.”
Thank You to Our New Friends!

Grosse Pointe North High School Boy's Soccer Team
Michael Leonhard is the Team Manager of the Boys' Soccer program at Grosse Pointe North High School. This year they are starting a new tradition where their senior captains choose a local organization to support. This year's captain, Lorenzo chose BHGH to work with. We joined the Soccer Team at a golf outing on August 6, and will be seeing them in action on August 21 for a soccer game!
