“I just want to thank you and your community members at NVFS for your financial, emotional, social support, etc. to my family and I. Thank you for the last meeting we had and how you took the time to explain to me the progress I had made and how I can go from here. Nobody had ever told me that, and that gave me the courage to go ahead and plan for my future knowing that I can always come to members of NVFS any time I need advice and support.”
