Due to proposed budget cuts, our children, families and the elderly are all at risk of being cut off from vital services protecting them from neglect, abuse, hunger, eviction and homelessness. Some of these people you may know – they’re former co-workers, friends, neighbors, even family members. And they need your
help now.
