“We  needed to fix up our trailer and clean it up to bring our kids home  because they were taken from us for 2 months. You guys helped us by  getting a huge dumpster for us and getting us help with replacing  windows, finish painting, and fixing our leaking sinks.
It  helped us out because if it wasn't for you guys at join hands and the  volunteers that help we wouldn't have been able to bring our kids home  as quickly as we did and for that we are very great full you have  brought my world back into mine and my husband's lives thank you." - M
