Community education allowed that family to garner that strength and that power to stand up and figure out what’s really going on and find the underlying of the problem to really address the needs of that kid. And he’s doing amazing. He’s wearing his glasses. And, he’s staying out of trouble. So, thank you, community education. And thank you, Mott, for the opportunity.” Jordan Munerlyn
