The support Florence Crittendon does for these young ladies is simply amazing. Lifeskills and continuing education and paramount for a successful and functioning life. The compassion and understanding they provide include housing, medical care, educational services, career and life skills training. I am thankful for what they do and happy to support them.
I have been involved with Florence Crittenton Programs of SC for 5 years and have been on the Board for 2 years. During this time, I have visited the home on many occasions and have interacted with the young women staying in the home and the staff. What stands out to me the most during my encounters is how relaxed and happy the young women seem to be. I think a large part of that is due to the services and care provided to them at the home. Some of these women would be homeless if it weren't for Florence Crittenton Programs.
I have also had the opportunity to meet women who were once Florence Crittenton clients. When I've spoke with these women, they talk about just how grateful they are for the home and the services and education they received during their stay. Florence Crittenton gives these young women the tools to better their lives, both for them and their babies.
I recently worked with Florence Crittendon as a volunteer. The staff was super friendly and helpful and we were able to have a successful fundraiser. I met some of the young women that this non-profit supports and I think that this program is a very worthwhile endeavor.
