“After all the personal and medical barriers I was going through, it’s great to have people that understand and help me. The last time I worked was over 20 years ago due to jail and other barriers. Now I am raising my 2 sons and I am able to go to volunteer to get some skills.” Troy Grogan said.
Christina is absolutely amazing!!!!! Always willing to go the extra mile for me - she helped me with my RSA, RCG and even a White Card. She's always cheerful and supportive.
