IF YOU COULD HELP SOMEONE BREAK GENERATIONAL CYCLES, WOULD YOU?
We all have a story. We all have a past. At First Things First, we accept and process the past so that we can build a stronger future. Our goal is to walk side by side with individuals, couples, and families to help break generational cycles. But we cannot accomplish this without your support.
