I've been in my efficiency apartment now for several months and couldn't be more grateful. The move-in started with me, my belongings a roof, AC and running water. Then came a bed, dishes, food, silverware, cleaning supplies, towels, etc. As I write this now it's a home. It's my safety place. I love, support, boast about and express extreme gratitude to National Association of Mental Illness and the Collier County team.”
