“I couldn’t do it all, I needed help, my kid needed help and finally someone helped us” Jackie James single mom
“Kids need things to show up, they can not worry about a bed to sleep in, food on the table, clothes to wear when they are trying to learn math” Amberlyn Ellinger 1st grade Teacher
“I go home and am able to sleep knowing that someone have ensured my students needs are met” Melinda Granelia Guidance Counselor
“We were going to have no where to live, we had no food and I was sending my kids off on the bus to learn? They were worried, I was worried, but then Alyssa called and in just a day, we had a new apartment, food and things were just getting better. I thought it was the end, but I think it’s a new beginning.” Tasha Polio mom of 3
“I was alone, I had nothing, I had no answers, my son was in prison and I had his two young boys to raise, the principal said we have resources for you, they had a team that could help and they did” Nancy Wells grandmother of Jaquin and Naem
“Seeing sometimes several agencies, resources, care management and the school working together to assist families with their everyday struggles, is truly the definition of a Community. It’s honestly amazing.”
