They are Mothers, Fathers, Sisters and Brothers. They are Aunts, Uncles, Grandfathers, and Grandmothers. They are Daughters and Sons. They are Young, Old, High-School Dropouts and College Students. They are Veterans, who served our country. They are from every race and every walk of life.

Thanks to Cherry Street donors and volunteers, they have the opportunity to rebuild their lives.
