Lonnie has been shuffled around for the majority of his youth.  When his mother was unable to care for him due to alcohol and substance abuse issues, he was placed with his grandmother.  At 13, he was moved to a treatment foster home because his grandmother could no longer handle the behavioral issues that had arisen.  Lonnie struggled through school, but eventually, through his hard work and perseverance, was able to graduate and enroll in college.  Monies made available by Talbot Community Connections for the benefit of children placed in foster care paid for his text books, enabling Lonnie to continue on the right path as moves on to adulthood.
