Testimonial
“Gloria, Julia, Russ, and Beth are amazing!! They’re are people placed on earth to help others, and they’ve gone above and beyond! After my child was diagnosed with cancer and her father using that to has advantage ( while he was making a full income, while I had to let go of my job to be with my child) he continued to lay on the petitions while she was getting treatment to live. I thought there was no hope, no one who cared. After finally catching a break and finding Gloria and her team, I finally found hope. They Have been able to get justice for my daughter and I after being in remission, being able to start in school and have stability knowing she will never have to jump schools and homes again. Her wish has always been to be able to make friends at a school she could grow wit,h and for that I’m incredibly thankful!!!!”
