In just a few words I would like to say that the Sky Light program is helping me so much. Besides getting me an apartment, which is great because I am homeless, it gives me a place to go and belong. I’ve made a lot of friends here. I eat meals here. It’s great to belong somewhere. Thank God for Sky Light.
