testimonials​​
Zoe M, Luis's Mom
Luis was afraid of falling, he was afraid people were going to make fun of him.
I told him, ‘Everyone starts from somewhere. Everyone falls. It’s all about picking yourself up.
​
He needed somebody else to tell him to get back up. He needed a team.
Krystal S, Brandon's Mom
It’s a beautiful thing.
This is huge for our entire family. Brandon has a younger sister who wants to join now. My husband and I said, ‘We should get out and try that ourselves.’
Shavon L, Jamilah's Mom
It’s something that’s not normally introduced to kids in our community. She loves swimming. She wants to be a professional swimmer.
