My Nonprofit Reviews

I emancipated from Heritage last year and went into transitional housing. I stayed in touch with the staff and agency, even after moving out, and continued to receive help, guidance and support. I visited almost daily after school at one point just because it is the only family that I know.

After I finished my two years at transitional housing, I was required to move out and the County helped me locate an apartment and helped me with assistance to pay rent but I could not afford any furniture and did not have even a mattress to sleep on. The staff at Heritage donated a bunch of stuff to me such as dishes, mattress, towels, silverware, bedding and other items that I needed. The thing that really blew me away is that they helped me set up a Go Fund Me page that raised almost $8,000 in apartment furnishings and this is what my place looks like now!!!
I am so proud to come home and could not have imagined in a million years that I would have my own place and it would look so incredible!! I could never have accomplished this on my own and I would not be where I am today without their help and support. The staff at Heritage, especially Maria, Sandi and Deonne, realllllly go above and beyond! I feel that I will always have them in my life and if I am ever in trouble or need anything, I know that I can count on them. I have grown so much as a person having these wonderful people in my life. They are tough, and expect a lot out of the kids but in return, they helped me and the other girls accomplish more than we thought that we could. Heritage doesn't let any of the kids give up on themselves, thank God! And so happy that they didn't give up on me or let me quit when I was struggling! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
