The faces of our impact
While the numbers are critical, the work we do at SEA is about the people behind the statistics. The ones whose lives are forever changed. It’s their stories that reflect the heart of our mission.
“I am so thankful for this organization. They were so helpful and kind. My ego took a hit and I am so stubborn when it comes to asking for help, however Hillary made it so easy and her kindness and eagerness to help me meant more than anything. Thank you all so much for the work you do!”
— Nekesha, SEA client
