What Our Clients Say

I just had a meeting with my client, and I wanted to let you know how grateful I am for your organization. My client said she has been through many different programs that claim to be advocacy organizations and Get Connected 815 is the first to live up to their claims. She said her navigators pushed her to put herself first and provided the moral support she needed. She said it is not easy some days, but she is determined to pull her life together for herself and her children.

That kind of positivity and hope is not something I witness every day, so I wanted to let you know how meaningful your work is and that people really appreciate your team.
