"My Life on Track"

Melissa's Story

 “I have had the blessing of having the opportunity to count on the Women’s Center. It is proof that by uniting, reaching for the same goals, one can achieve the greater good in everyone. I thank all those who have made possible this wonderful opportunity to get my life on track. As a mother of four children, I will never forget the help, as I am forming them to be good citizens. Thank you all for the attention and help. God says, ‘help the poor’, and you did!”
