My Story

"I am 32-years-old and have had mental health issues for most of my adult life. My income is limited, so when I heard about YMCA financial assistance, I was very excited. Without this assistance, my husband and I would not have been able to afford a gym membership. The benefits of exercise are great to me: it helps me to feel stronger, healthier and be in better spirits, and I consider it to be part of my treatment for depression. The main thing for me is the feeling that I am a part of community, and that we live in a place where people care about other people, and can strengthen the bonds between each other. I hope the YMCA continues to provide service and support where it is needed most, and make a difference in someone’s life as they did for me."
