"I was not sure if I qualify for health insurance because of my income. Now I have Medicaid which takes care of all my healthcare cost. I can, without any stress, take care of my kids, my health and don't have to worry about huge medical bills. Thank you SACSS!"

"My mother-in-law really looks forward to the virtual senior support group at SACSS. During the pandemic we were worried about how she would keep in touch with her friends. Not only did the staff teach her the technology but she looks forward to participating in the groups and playing Antakshari every week."

"Many thanks and respect from the core of my heart to you and your organization for giving support which was beyond my expectation. Except you nobody thinks/cares about us. Covid-19 is a pandemic, and has impacted not only the human health thread but also the financial thread."

"I was referred for supportive counseling to SACSS by my psychiatrist. I was not sure what counseling was and felt very apprehensive. When I met with my counselor at SACSS, she spoke to me in Bengali and we formed an instant contact. I began by seeing her once a week, she has helped me cope with the passing of my husband to a chronic illness."
