I received a $100 gift card to help my family, it was exactly what I needed to get us by. Not to mention this isn’t the first time I’ve received aid, around Christmas I experienced hard times and the company was there supporting my daughter and I to make sure she had a great Christmas. I appreciate the help so much, I love my job and the people I work with. From my daughter, myself and my family, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
