This is a recent note from a woman in our advocacy program:

To everyone at Northwest Family Life, thank you, thank you. I'm so lucky to have you all "on my side." You've truly helped lighten the burden of the journey towards wellness. Everyone of you are so sweet and kind and when I leave there I always feel special. Usually when I arrive, I'm not feeling particularly special. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

A letter from a man in our domestic violence treatment program:

Dear Nancy,
     It has been required of me to attend your facility. As part of my treatment for returning to society. I have battled with many feelings and emotions. But I believe I have learned what I need to know, to not allow the same things to happen which got me here.
     I must say when I first started my D.V. class, I was not looking forward to it. But through the efforts of Paul Gess, I have been able to change my thinking and learn about taking responsibility for my actions. I feel very fortunate to have had someone as knowledgeable and inspiring as Paul, to help me learn what I needed to know about myself.
