"The Link has been amazing for my daughter. Her caseworker has been so supportive and caring. She listens and give the best advice. My daughter looks forward to seeing her each session. I've seen my daughter grow in areas she really struggled with."
"I know The Link works for the kids getting them back on track but they are so much more than just that! They stand behind the mothers as well! I do believe their calling is so much higher! They help women and children's families all together with every source they can find!"
"My daughter and I love going to The Link because our coordinator is sweet and caring. She provides a loving, friendly, comfortable environment and listens to us with compassion. And the coffee and drinks and snacks are a bonus."
