“I am so appreciative for this program. I have doctor appointments to get to and I don’t have money for cab fare and I don’t own a car, so this service is wonderful for people who are in need of transportation.”
“Lost previous job and have just started a new job. It has been a difficult time. I was very thankful you were able to help pay for my medication until I got back on my feet. Gaithersburg HELP was there when I needed it. Thank you.”
“It relieves me of the worry about how to get to my doctor appointments. It’s like having a friend take you and all drivers have been of high caliber.”
“I have not had a regular job for the last year and I support my three children and my mother. Before I went to Gaithersburg HELP there were times when we did not have even eggs and milk in the house. Now I am more secure that I can feed my family.”
