Testimonials
“AECE helped me find my voice as a parent and community leader. When I first came as a volunteer, I didn’t know where to start as a new mom. Through the Parenting Classes, I gained confidence, education, and leadership skills. Now I can help other parents and give back to my community.”
— Ksenia Poluskova, Parent Leader and Volunteer
“I am a mother of six, and AECE helped me during the most critical time of my life. They answered my call late in the evening, helped me find safe housing, and connected me with support services. AECE’s programs brought healing and peace to my children. Today, we live safely and with hope.”
— Anna Walter, Mother of Six and Volunteer
“The music and violin classes helped my three children blossom. As a widow starting a new life, AECE became our safe place. Their caring team guided me with housing, documents, and parenting support. Today my children and I are thriving, thanks to AECE’s love and compassion.”
