"Susan, Your organization, as well as, yourself should be commended for the job you do. In today’s fast paced world we tend to take certain services for granted until one is needed. You listened when no one else could help and provided the tools to seek out a program to give my child hope for the future. Thank you ever so much. It is important that we stand behind our children and do everything possible to help them. Abraham Lincoln said it best, “A child is a person who is going to carry on what you have started. He is going to sit where you are sitting, and when you are gone, attend to those things which you think are important. You may adopt all the policies you please, but how they are carried out depends on him. He will assume control of your cities, states, and nations. He is going to move in and take over your churches, schools, universities, and corporations ……….. the fate of humanity is in his hands. Thank you so very much” David Hamby Criminal Investigator"
