Family, Emergency & Utilities Assistance
" ...Thank you for everything that you have done for my children and me. We've been through so much. It began with my health issues, and then my 16-year-marriage fell apart. When he left, he took everything we worked so hard for -- even our car. My children and I had to start all over with only our clothes and a few personal items. CAPTAIN did so much for us; among other things, you made it possible for us to have dishes and a table so we can have our family time each evening. CAPTAIN has given us the foundation we need to move on and to move up." From Sarah and kids
