“During my [abusive] marriage, I’d tried two times unsuccessfully to
become a nurse. With the support and caring that NOA has given and
continues to give me…..I am now in my 3rd quarter of school and making good grades. We all
deserve a second chance and that’s what NOA is there for. Please help
them to help others.” — Diane*
A Right to Respect
“NOA always emphasizes that you are a human being and you have the
right to be treated with respect and dignity. They helped restore faith
and trust in myself and others. My whole life has been abusive. They
are the angels that help people like me. Without NOA, I would still be
forgotten. I am eternally grateful.”— Katie*
No Way Out
"I am a single mom of four boys and life seemed like it would never get better and there was no way out. My goals are reachable with the help of NOA. The advocates and counselors have really, without a doubt, changed my life. Sometimes all it takes for success is knowing you’re not alone.” — Mandy*(name changed)
