But anyway, you are doing MUCH need work !

Thank you. I could tell you some horror stories of what some of these youth have been through at such a young age. We receive zero federal or state funding, our money comes from grants and donations. My goal is to make folks in The Villages be aware of this organization when it comes to their donated dollar and also we need volunteers. All of our volunteers are in their 70's.
