My name is Mark Perez, I am a father of three. I recently lost my job and I was using my savings to pay bills. Well that started running low. I saught out community assistance and of course everyone either had a waiting time or was unable to assist me. I was sitting in the front porch and stressed out not sure of what I was going to do or how I was going to continue to feed my family and keep a roof over ours heads. I went for a walk and stumbled upon a business card. It was Dumaka Foundation Inc., I called the number and for some reason I felt the need to dump all of what I was going through to the person on the other end. Needless to say, I was invited to come in to the office for an interview. When I walked in you can feel and tell this was not the average help center. This place was inviting, I was overcome with nostalgia. My kids and I were greeted by staff whom had great hospitality. We sat down with an intake coordinator. The services offered to me were more than most community agencies have ever did. Needless to day. Thanks to Dumaka Foundation Inc. I am employed full time with a great pay, I received assistance with my past due bills, along side a plethora of other services they offer. This non-profit may be new and small but they understand the needs of the community. And the CEO. She is amazing, she insight to her background and what motivated her to start this non-profit organization. And I must say I was highly impressed and thankful that I found the business card when I did. This organization has a full wrap around service for individuals like myself and many others. I can go on and on about how happy I am with the services I received through Dumaka Foundation Inc.
