Stories from Our Community

"Life-Changing Experience"

Much help to human beings regardless of color or race. Thank you for your efforts in HELPING.

"Back on My Feet!"

I see myself in a way I had forgotten how to see myself. I smiled again and gave myself the opportunity to heal. YOU CAN SHINE AGAIN.

"Highly recommend this organization"

You can't say bad things of a place that has been helping people in a very professional and humane way for years. Mr. Ventura has always put together a good legal team here. They have childcare and they also teach you English and citizenship.

"A Truly Caring Team"

This community assistance center offers several highly accessible programs for people who need to resolve immigration issues or who want to receive training as a family. Learn English and earn your GED.

Highly recommended.
