I first became familar with this organization two years ago as a friend from Los Angeles invited me to attend the organization's "Evening Under the Stars" where Mary Wilson of the Supremes was entertaining. During this event I purchased an auction item. A few days later I went to their offices to pick up my item and witnessed one of the employees comforting a lady who had stopped in apparently to inform them of the death of her son who was a client of the organization. The gentlemen that was their was so kind and caring to her, I overheard her saying "thank you for helping my son for the last 7 years, you made a difference". From then on I have been donating to them. I also saw them on the local CBS station and a month long segment of the good they do.
