Cost

Thanks to generous private donations and grant funding, a considerable amount of the costs associated with counseling sessions are covered. To help sustain our mission and ensure continued access for all families, we invite you to pay a fee based on your income.

Your contribution helps bridge the gap and ensures that we can continue to serve your family and others in need. While fees are voluntary, your contribution directly impacts the sustainability of these essential programs for your family and families like yours in our community.
