I had a severely disabled son who died when he was seven. But in the years before his death, the ARC of Alameda County was like a second family - one that knew the ins and outs of getting help and services. They are an outstanding group of hardworking, underpaid and underfunded people who make every penny count to help their clients. I cannot say enough about the good these folks do!
