Christmas spirit all year long at Frost foundation

Christmas is a time of sharing and love. An example of this spirit is shown all year round at the Frost Foundation for Boys. Inc., Syracuse, by Ray and Cheryl Frost. The Frosts started the home . e years ago as a foster home, but felt the need to do more. The couple started remodeling to meet the state qualifications needed to become a licensed group home. They met many difficulties. Currently the foundation houses 13 boys and they are remodeling the facility in order to qualify for a new license allowing them to house 3() boys. The home, which has bed space for 24 boys, is currently at the capacity limit. However, there will be four boys leaving after the first of-the year. Those living with the Frosts are: Scott, 17; Tony, 17; Bobby. 16; Scott. 16; Chuck. 16; Mike, 16; Bobby. 15; Jerry. 16; Joey, 12; Donny, 17; Mark, 18; Terry. 17; Tim, 17; and Jimmy, 16, who stays at the home on week ends. All of the boys attend Wawasee High School with the exception of three. Several of the boys are working on their General Education Development tests and Joey attends Syracuse Elementary. The Frosts encourage the boys to obtain a high school education. It is required they take home schoolwork and spend one half hour each day studying. Besides studying, the boys help the community and do enjoy several recreational activities. Recently the group home rented the high school pool for the boys. This past summer the boys had individual projects involving helping someone in the community with yard work or odd jobs. They have sponsored several car washes in the Syracuse community in which donations were accepted. For Christmas this year, those boys who wilL not be able to spend Christmas with their families will be traveling with Frost to Disney World in Florida. Boys Feel At Home Frost, who was raised in a children’s home in Allen County, feels it was from his experience that he started the home at Syracuse. The boys jfho come to live at the Frost Foundation are made to feel like it is their home. “We try our best to make this a structered and yet realistic home situation. All we want to do is give these kids a home,” commented Frost. Currently the Frosts and Michael Harris, administrator and counselor, are working with the boys in an approach called positive peer culture. This is a method which uses the boys’ own peers to change their negative behavior and helps them to use their own leadership abilities. “The boys are with their peers almost all the time and PPC makes them responsible for each other. Maybe they won’t behave if Ray, Sherry or I tell them to do something, but with 10 other boys telling you to do something you don’t usually argue,” remarked Harris. Each boy is given a chore to do, receiving a different chore each week. The boys also have to be home by a certain time in the evening and each is responsible for making his bed. All Walks Os Life The placing agencies have sent boys to the home from all walks of life. Most of the boys come from broken homes of one kind or another. The majority of the boys stay at the home until they reach the age of 18 and others stay until the placing agency feels it is advisable for them to return to their homes. Harris stated the biggest problem they have encountered is “developing a trust with the boys, having them open up and come to us with their problems. ” He also stated there has been difficulty in obtaining the community’s support and for them to become involved and support the foundation. “We want community involvement, we want people to take the boys places, to get to know them and let them get to know you. We need good examples for these boys to follow, we want you to feel free to call them when you have lawn work and give them summer and winter jobs around your house. We want your moral support and any other assistance that you wish to give. We want you to know we’re doing this because we care,” remarked Harris. Changes In The Home “At present we are remodeling our facility in order to qualify for a new license which will allow us to house around 20 boys. These changes are costly and with the current changes we will be spending over SB,OOO. We now have bed space for 24 boys and are making preparations to enclose our kitchen facility, all of which

is required for the new state license. We are also in need of two new industrial type washing machines. But it all takes money.” stated Frost. “If people only knew our expenses l’m sure they would be more sympathetic to our needs. We want people to know what we are doing here. We want the community to become involved with the Frost Foundation. We invite anyone and everyone to come out and see first-hand what we’re doing here. ” he replied.
