Story #1  “Kay” (not her real name in order to protect confidentiality)

 

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to express my gratitude for the services I have received from you and the Coastal Samaritan Counseling Center.  For me this is a chance to hopefully give something back.  My concern is that I will not be able to adequately describe the enormous benefits I have received from you and the organizations that make this possible.  There is such an overwhelming need for affordable access to mental health services.  I am so thankful that despite my financial situation, the doors were not shut, but generously opened and I was allowed to gratefully enter.  Without the support of very special people, this would not be possible.  For those I hope you hear my words and know that there is nothing more important than the mental health and well being of our society."
