“I am here tonight because of the work Solid Ground has done with my family. We all know change is hard – transitioning to a better life is hard – but we all know our children are worth it.  I am really appreciative of the people who have pushed me to be a better person, open up more, and become a better mom. I am grateful for the staff at Solid Ground who have supported me and my kids – even when I didn’t know how to support myself. Thank you for coming tonight to listen to my story and support Solid Ground – so that they can continue to do their amazing work for families like mine.”  – Destiny, Solid Ground participant speaker
