IMPACT Graduate
Teia graduated from IMPACT on Thursday, June 28 saying, “If it weren’t for IMPACT, I don’t think we’d be either married today or living in the same place. This program helped us get rid of all our debt…now we are on our way to buying a home. This program for me is family…it will show
