Student Testimonials:

"I really appreciate your donations and dry cleaning assistance. As a full-time student who works between two and three jobs a semester just to finance my education, any assistance allowing me to pursue my career is extremely helpful. Because of this event, I now have a suit to wear to medical school interviews."
