Who we SERVE: The community!
One of my youngest babies that we serve at Cross Roads is only 7 years old! I go to bed late & get up early everyday KNOWING that quitting & failure is not an option. If I quit... I fail her! Her face, her story & others stories are etched in my heart. If I quit meeting & speaking out I lose my voice but others will lose their voices too!
