I thank God EVERYDAY tht HRDC was made 4 low income families & families w/ individuals tht have disabilities & now HRDC is available 4 everyone 2 enjoy regardless of ur financial situation, color, race, sexual orientation, religion, etc., cuz I honestly dk wht I would have done or where I would b this very day w/o their help & kindness. If it wasnt 4 Allegany Co. HRDC, I wouldnt b living n a single family home (yes, tht I rent) but the rent is very low so I'm able 2 afford it, instead I would still b living n public housing where my kids & myself were harrassed & threatened so much tht both my daughter & myself have developed PTSD jus from living there 4 7 yrs, I wouldnt have any way 2 my drs appts or have medical tests done so I wouldnt have any drs or b on any of the meds tht I need 2 b on like my epileptic meds & I would nvr n a million yrs b able 2 afford my utility bills especially considering my heat is electric baseboard heaters instead my water & my electric would have been shut off for months now but there not & cuz they have helped me get back on my feet in so many ways I do whatever I can 2 give back

Whether it b volunteering n the community, donating food 2 food pantries or jus simply recommending ppl 2 go there & talk 2 them & c if they r able 2 help...THANK U ALLEGANY CO. HRDC!!! WE WILL FOREVER B GRATEFUL!!!
