“They need to have better equipment a bed linen as well as towels and wash cloths. I did have to buy these on my own. When it comes to Taylor, since she has been here, the director of social work has gone above and beyond her job to get me home to my family. I am finally going home after almost a year. Thank you Taylor for getting me home my family and I love you.”
