GIVE TODAY TO Break the cycle of Poverty

from a donor

"Thank you for telling me about the good work your group does to enrich the lives of people who need assistance. It is encouraging to know that good people exist in the world who seek to make others’ lives more pleasant. That is infinitely more important than many of the technological advances that allow people to downloaded movies in 125 milliseconds. Life is still about people, and not about milliseconds.

​

      Thank you for restoring my faith in people’s goodness."
