Our Long-Term Vision: A Safe Haven for Invisible Young Man. The actual house
At The J Holman House, we believe that many young boys are invisible in plain sight, unseen unless they are doing something extraordinary or something reckless. Too often, society overlooks them, leaving them to navigate life alone, without guidance or support. We are committed to changing that narrative.
That’s why our long-term vision includes building a 200-bed campus dedicated to displaced young boys and young men those who have been forgotten, left behind, and left to fend for themselves. They may be displaced from foster care, incarceration, loss of family or circumstances that cause them to be separated from their family. These young people will have a place to heal, grow, and be seen for who they truly are, not the stereotypes the world places on them. They will receive the care, guidance, and opportunities they’ve been denied.
On this campus, they will be educated, taught skills, receive healthcare, mental health support, and spiritual guidance. We will give them the tools they need to build lives of purpose and pride, where they are seen for their worth, not just their actions. This is not just about saving one boy it’s about saving generations.
We often speak about the “broken man” but Jermaine was a broken boy first. These young people deserve the space to heal, to become leaders, to have the chance they’ve been denied because their pain is real, but so is their potential.
This campus will be their chance to reclaim their story, their worth, and their future. It is our vision that no more boys are left unseen, and no more families are left in silence.
This is where healing, growth, and transformation happen.
We cannot do this alone. We need your help

What We Need:

Funding- We need funding The projected amount required is $15,000,000 - $20,000,000 for initial capital to get the campus built and operational.
$3,500,000 - $5,000,000 annually for sustained operations.

Donated Property: We are seeking donated land or existing buildings that could serve as the foundation for our campus. A safe, welcoming environment is essential to our mission, and your donation could provide the space we need to transform the lives of these young men.

Donated Cars: Reliable vehicles are crucial to meet the transportation needs of these young men, whether for school, work, healthcare appointments, or community involvement. We are asking for donated cars that can help ensure they have access to essential resources.

Labor: We need skilled labor to help build, renovate, and maintain the campus. We are asking for donated labor in the form of construction, landscaping, plumbing, electrical work, and general maintenance. Volunteers and professionals who can donate their time and expertise will play a key role in bringing this vision to life.

🕳️ Invisibility isn’t just being unseen. It’s being seen and still ignored.
Some people are loud in the room and still overlooked.
Check on the quiet ones. And the loud ones.
Both are screaming.

“Su***de is selfish.”

People throw that line around like it’s holy truth. Like it cleans the blood off the floor. Like it wraps their guilt in pretty paper so they don’t have to look at it too long.

But here’s the ugly, cut-open truth most people who end their life aren’t flipping you the finger on the way out. They’re not plotting revenge. They’re exhausted. Cracked open. Hollowed out. They’re sitting in the dark at 3AM fighting a war in their own head so loud they can’t hear the front door open, the kids laughing, the sun coming up.

They don’t want to die. They want the pain to die. And when that doesn’t happen, they decide they’ll do it instead.

The selfish ones? They’re the people who tell the hurting to man up or pray harder or stop being dramatic. The ones who scroll past a su***de post like it’s gossip. The ones who say call me anytime but don’t answer when anytime shows up at midnight, broken, crying, drunk, ashamed.

You know what’s really selfish? That we love people in pieces. We love the parts that make us feel good the funny parts, the strong parts, the useful parts. But when someone’s bleeding sadness all over the floor, we pull back. It’s too much. They’re too much. So we slap selfish on them when they finally decide to go where they think they can’t hurt you anymore.

Su***de isn’t selfish. It’s a slow murder by silence, by shame, by pretending everything’s fine when it’s not. It’s a tragedy we all share every time we didn’t look them in the eye, didn’t sit in the dirt with them, didn’t believe them when they whispered I can’t do this anymore.

So if you’re gonna say su***de is selfish, do it in the mirror. Then do better. Listen. Stay. Show up when it’s messy and ugly and inconvenient. Love people when they’re impossible to love. That’s how you stop it. Not by shaming the dead but by standing up for the living.
