A Testimonial

.... I went to thank her for doing a food drive for HELP and to ask her how she heard of HELP of Beaufort. She said that a couple of years ago her daughter was separated and she and her granddaughter had to move in with her and her husband. The granddaughter has epilepsy. Without insurance, she was desperate to find medication and found HELP. She stated that, without any questions asked, HELP got her granddaughter the medication she needed. Her daughter and husband have since reconciled and are doing great. When she was talking about doing this activity, her daughter stressed that she wants to give back to HELP since the assistance they received saved her daughter's life!
