  • Testimonials

    “Since getting my kids back in April I have expressed a lack of help and kind of said they set you up for failure. I really wish they had set me up with you guys months ago instead of recently.

    Because just the few things you have done for us have helped me tremendously. I don’t have family. Their father is incarcerated. I’m out of work b/c childcare hasn’t kicked in yet and with the help you guys have given us over the past month, it has really made a huge difference.”

    “I did this fight for 3 years and I had no help and it was hard. Not to sound weak as a man but the thought of not getting my kids back had me in a depression and I either was gonna fight or run and I chose to fight.

    You guys helped me more in the last month then anyone has in 3 plus years so my heart’s grateful.”
