Testimonial from Mrs. Kathy M., Mother of Tracy M.
“I just wanted to send a note to tell you how much I appreciate the HabCenter and everyone who works there for trying to keep everything going as well as it has been in a difficult time. Always, your main goal is to do the best for all the clients.
For 20 years, Tracy has been coming to the workshop. It has provided her with work and friendships which gave her purpose and support. Without the HabCenter, she probably would not have flourished as well and developed her wonderful work performance. She looks forward to going to work and making money. It may not be a lot, but to her it is money she earned. She likes the idea that she can buy and pay for things she wants. It gives her a sense of pride.
So I guess this is a thank you card from my family to the HabCenter. I hope people will see how important this workshop and programs are for people like our daughter. They need to feel they matter. Thank you again.”
