True Story

Aaron and his daughter

"

When my daughter was born, she had a life-threatening condition that required us to go to Denver for treatment. With the time away, I lost my job and my rental. When we came back, Family Service helped us get back on our feet by providing amazing food boxes, baby clothes and even helped me get my GED so I could get hired again. Thank you, Family Service!
