"I feel blessed to have had CHKD be there for my family and friends when we have needed them. As a part of this organization, I now have the opportunity to give back and to be a blessing to the family and friends of many others in the community. CHKD is answering a need in our community through their mental heath program and I am so excited to be a part of it."
