A Special Thanks to Houska Automotive!

Thumbs Up to Houska's Automotive owner, Dennis Houska, and mechanic, John, for their “second mile” effort to help "Kaley", a struggling young woman with car problems. Kaley's car sat in deep water after a recent rain and would not start. Houska's tried a quick fix; it failed. The car's computer was wet and needed to dry.

A few days later, the car started. Dennis Houska drove to Loveland to pick up Kaley and brought her to Fort Collins to get her car.

Kaley, formerly in foster care, is now living independently, but needs dependable transportation and is underemployed; Houska's generously donated their services.

Approximately 50 youth, ages 18-21, exit out-of-home placement in Northern Colorado EVERY YEAR.

- 25% of these youth face homelessness;
- 13% of these young women (unknown for young men) experience early parenthood;
- at least 49% of them are unemployed;
- 37% did not graduate from high school or complete a GED;
- 37% had contact with the Criminal Justice System;
- only 6% of children who were in foster care stay connected with the foster family.

These are the youth that Steppin' Out, Inc. is dedicated to serving. Please join us!
