The Carying Place Graduate Family Quote: “I just could not get my life together on my own after a death in my family, my mother’s illness and losing my apartment… the Carying Place gave me structure and a blueprint and helped me take control of my finances instead of them controlling me. My whole family is more disciplined now. I am thankful for the seeds The Carying Place has planted and all they have taught my family.”
