Kat,
What a great service this organization offers to the residents of the mountain communities. With the current economic downfall, many of the locals are out of work, or do not have the extra finances to afford counseling or assistance for these types of needs that you specified above. Thank God, for the wonderful volunteers who give of their time to make the community a better place and who offer these special programs!
Michelle: Indeed, these professionals need to be commended for all their hard work and the hours they put in to help people in need.
