Thomas

From Struggle to Strength:
Thomas' Story

Thomas’ story is one of resilience, hope and transformation. As a young child, Thomas faced trauma, including being shot just before his 11th birthday. Despite the odds, he found healing, purpose and a brighter future at Boys Town.

Thomas’ journey is a powerful testament to Boys Town’s impact on young lives.

Meet the Man Who Started It All, Father Edward J. Flanagan

Our founder, Father Flanagan, was a true visionary of his time. His dream and our founding principles are alive today, and are as relevant as they were when Boys Town first opened its doors more than a century ago.
