She said it's been the hardest two years of her life because they've lost so much funding and they've had to try to figure out how they can continue to help people.

The needs are not going away, but the dollars are.

And we can't do it without the dollars and the connections.

So they've been struggling to continue to maintain, to be creative, to maintain those services.
