RE: I-HELP Program
My name is Serginna and I would like to thank everyone for all their wonderful assistance and act of kindness. My husband and I were homeless for approximately two years and have been able to find support within the I-HELP program, no questions asked. We were able to re-establish ourselves and financially support ourselves. We now live in Hawaii and are expecting a miracle child on the way and realize that this would not have been possible without I-HELP. We appreciate the efforts put forth to provide comfort, food, shelter, and support to those that are less fortunate. Let this be a testimony of your services, if we can make it...so can others!
Respectfully,
Serginna Quintana |
