Thanks to you, Mikey smiles again
You made a difference for one child.
Thanks to you, Mikey smiles again.
Pandemic. Divorce. Sadness. Some things seem impossible to explain to a seven-year-old, but Mikey is OK because you gave him the gift of counseling.
Through telehealth mental health therapy, Mikey has learned he is loved. His parents have learned to co-parent in two households. It isn’t easy but it is possible, thanks to you.
On #givingtuesday — we give thanks for you!
