Quotes
“Kentucky is ranked fourth in the 2021 poverty levels at 16.67%”
“Dental and medical care is more often paid for out of an already strained and shallow pocket.”
“The one thing I knew to be absolutely true this past weekend is that the Salvation Army were boots on the ground almost immediately following the tornado’s destruction.”
“We were standing in the freezing weather but all I felt was a warm heart.”
“Often it is not the one being given to that is blessed the most but the giver themselves.”
“To whom much is given, much will be required.”
