The following was written by the child of a mother helped through one of the programs offered by Colette’s. “As you have probably heard, we are graduating today. I wanted to write and tell you how much my mother and I appreciate all your love, support, and assistance. You have helped us in so many ways. We will ALWAYS remember your kindness with eternal gratitude. You all are like family now and we really love all of you.
