We Support You with the Help of Our Community Partners I just wanted to tell you how much I/we are so grateful for the help you gave us on saving our home. You gave me hope when everyone else was slamming doors in my face. Thank you. Thank you for listening to me, not judging me, and helping us. Instead of having our house auction today and having to move, I was able to wake up today with the only stress of having to wake up my little girl and getting her dressed for picture day today at her daycare. Thank you so very much. - Erin, Robert, and Destiny H.
