Why Freedom Communities?
“At some point in our lives, many of us have felt broken. Broken is defined as damaged, altered or disrupted by change. Many members of the community have felt discouraged, overwhelmed and overlooked. I chose Freedom Communities because I believed in their vision; breaking the cycles that plagues our communities by being a line of support to those who desperately need it.”
