“Project CONNECT has had an unimaginable effect on my life. I have grown tremendously, both mentally and physically. I had to be comfortable with being uncomfortable and to deal with life on life’s terms. I learned how to be strong. The staff is very supportive and understanding, I do not know where I would be without them today. I have become a better person than I ever thought I could be because of Project CONNECT. You guys are amazing!”
