True Story

Dave & Beth

"

Everyone says it can happen to anyone and when Dave got hurt on the job, our whole life changed. We went from mostly okay each month to barely scraping by. Our neighbor suggested Family Service to us. They helped us keep our place making an overdue rent payment until the disability kicked in. Even now, they keep helping. Our lives are better because of Family Service-thank you!
