MEND STORIES
“I cried a lot at home. I’m older, but I’m strong and willing to work — I just felt pushed out. When I came to MEND, I found workshops, job coaching, groceries, and a place where people truly care. Thank you for helping not just me and my husband, but so many individuals I’ve met here.”
