“Sanctuary of Hope helps to bring young people in culturally underserved communities such as myself resources, education and mentorship when we need it most. I met Janet Kelly of SOH at the start of college where she offered me a financial solution to support my educational journey. I am extremely grateful to Janet Kelly and all of the staff members of Sanctuary of Hope because if it weren’t for them providing the resources that I needed, I wouldn’t be standing anywhere close to where I am standing today.”
