"Strength In Peers helped me get my Medicaid started again after being incarcerated. They also helped me figure out how to do on-line job applications so I could get a job, but they helped me most by sitting down with me, listening to me, and sharing with me about the stuff that keeps us stuck in life. Now, with support, I can move forward." - Strength In Peers participant

On this day of global giving, we hope you'll consider giving to the nonprofit organizations that lift people up! www.StrengthInPeers.org/donate
