Nathaniel Medor, a 17-year-old Life Scout with Troop 816 in Miami, Florida, undertook an Eagle Scout project to support Citrus Health Network’s CRIB program. The program aids children in foster care during difficult transitions.
Nathaniel aimed to ensure better beginnings for these children by providing essential items. The project involved significant effort in organizing fundraisers and producing registries. Ultimately, he raised nearly $5,000, enough to help 51 kids. With the support from his troop, they packed bags containing clothing, hygiene items, school supplies and books.
