"The last 8 years have been very difficult for me. I’ve had people in my life who've tried hard to understand what my son & I are going through but it wasn't until I met the amazing people at RISE that I truly felt I had found my "people." RISE goes above and beyond caring for people and the group of people who are in the RISE family group has put me at ease, answered questions, and is an amazing support group."
