Honoring Brandy’s Life & Legacy
Some of you may remember seeing a young woman named Brandy working in housekeeping during your time at ACE. Like so many of our sponsored children, Brandy was truly a success story. In 2019, at just 16 years old, Brandy was recommended to our program through Edgehill...
Marla’s Minute: Clive Comes Around
