Many Thanks for San Diego Youth Services

San Diego Youth Services Thank you for making Christmas magical for the teens in our shelter and at our TAY Drop-in Center. I really don't have words that can express my appreciation; your energy, good will, hard work and good sense of design and decoration transformed the shelter and drop-in center into spaces full of holiday spirit. I come into work early, often before the sun rises, and the warmth and glow of the holiday lights in the courtyard and the bed area in the shelter made my mornings special and reminded me of how blessed our staff is to have an amazing group like IFMA to partner with us, not only during the holidays, but throughout the year.
 
I wish for each of you a blessed 2017 and a year of health, friendship and peace.
 
With gratitude,
Jan Stankus
