Your Generous Donation Supports Your Community.

“Listen, I don’t have much savings after only 15 months in the community, but I know I have a lot more than most. So I am mailing in a small ($50) donation to Strength in Peers. I just wanted you to know that the donation is made in [Richard Jackson’s – one of our Peer Support Specialists] honor, for the assistance you offered me and the selfless work you continue to do every day. You are greatly appreciated, thank you.”
