Juscion & Keyanea
The past year has been pretty tough for me and my son. I don’t know how we would have gotten through it without NAC’s help.
Natalie & Elijah
I am grateful we have a roof over our head and that all my children are with me.
Joanne
I am the first person in my family to graduate from college. A large part of my accomplishments have been made possible by the many helpful hands at NAC.
Tamara
I am complete now that my daughter is home with us and is able to share everything with us since she been discharged from the hospital.
