Quotes From our Family

 
 

“I believe in Project Jericho and their staff.  They have given my children strength to express the beauty they hold within.  They have shown my daughters strong, powerful women and how they can become the same… Thank you for sharing with us how to work through the struggle, through pain… Thank you for not giving up on us.”

-Shelly, Project Jericho Participant/Parent

“Every day is an opportunity for me to exist and to create and to give myself to the world. And I owe that confidence in living to the three years of support and love Project Jericho has provided me. It promotes life. Project Jericho is not a luxury for the children of Springfield: it is a vital, life saving necessity.”

-Erin, Project Jericho alumnus
