Jill and United Way have helped me and my family so much this past year. My family and I moved here about a year and a half ago. We moved to get away from a very bad living situation. We had to leave some of our stuff and on short notice so getting here to Waverly and getting into our own place so our boys could start school was VERY trying financially. Jill was very much beyond helpful and understanding. My family and I are so so grateful for all the help they gave us to get our boys in school and help get us on our feet. We absolutely love it here in Waverly.
