We enjoy having the opportunity to provide individuals with the tools to obtain wings or repair those that have been broken by life's challenges. We realize with the proper training, assistance, encouragement and support - all people can fly. Though we all fly in different directions and with different missions, A Second Chance for W.I.N.G.S. desires to offer a positive direction through hope. As individuals walk through the doors of A Second Chance for W.I.N.G.S. the healing and growth process will begin. We offer positive reinforcement and tools for success.
