Community mentors changing lives - June 9, 2013 article from Sun Gazette
"It is not uncommon to hit a snag in life. At some point, many of us during our adult life experience extreme hardship, whether it be financially or otherwise. Maybe we even hit rock bottom. What few realize though, is that help exists out there for those that are having a difficult time making ends meet..."
