Testimonial - from a former volunteer at DAFS
"... Helping at DAFS taught me so many important things, and mostly it was a blessing to meet so many kind and powerful women (and children). My first day at the Women's Shelter of Central Arkansas is tomorrow, and I can only hope that I will be just as lucky with the people I meet there. Again, thank you so much for everything, and I hope to visit when I am home for Thanksgiving. You are always in my thoughts."
