Spotlight

Tanya B Buffalo

“This program means a lot to me and my daughter, Nivayah. When her dad passed away, they showed up for us. They even came to the service. Shadequa is a big mentor in my daughter’s life, and the whole team is like family to her. They care about the kids and have a special bond with them. They’ve helped my daughter open up about things I never thought she would, and I’ve seen her come out of her shell. She’s made friends, she has a Big Sister now, and she always looks forward to going. I never have to worry about my daughter because I know Osborne has made it a safe place for her. Even when I can’t be there, I know they’ll show up for her.”
