"This apartment has brought so much joy and love and memories and care and comfort and safety. The list goes on. I don’t know what I would do without this program, I’ve been able to connect with my children and nieces and nephews in a way that I would never if I was in the position that I was in before. I mean, this has open so many doors and opportunities and joy and happiness I can't really thank you all enough from the bottom of our heart.”
