Testimonials

A Wider Circle helped me start back on my feet again and made me feel like I was getting somewhere in my life.  I was able to provide the children with beds, their dressers, dining room table, kitchen utensils, pots and pans, something to eat on – I didn’t have anything.  It’s gotten me back on my feet.

For a person that knows hardship and is in dire need, it is very gratifying to have people such as AWC to assist the poor and less fortunate.  It can bring tears of joy to a grown man’s eyes.
