“My personal service coordinator Nikki, helped me look for jobs and stuck by my side the entire time. I don’t know what I would have done without her.”

“MHALA took a lot of time with me. They would have me interact with groups a lot, encouraged me to try things and praised me for what I had accomplished.”

“MHALA gave me a community. I believe very strongly that we really need that to feel connected. Now I have a really strong support system to listen to me.”

“I’m now clean and sober, gained brand-new relationships with brand-new friends. My life is real and I am truly thankful to MHALA.”

“MHALA also helped me out temporarily with rental assistance. They have everything for you, but you really have to be proactive about your wellbeing.”

“MHALA was the push I needed — it was everything I needed. In the middle of a pandemic, MHALA got me off the ground.”

“I used the skills I learned at MHALA to help my mom apply for and interview at Amazon for the same position. And she got in as well!”

“MHALA helped me organize my resume, shared job leads and gave me good positive energy. You need stuff like that when you’re looking for jobs.”

“I’ve progressed more than I ever thought. I always wanted to be independent. I want to value myself and give myself that standard of yes, I am somebody.”
