"I have nothing but wonderful things to say about [KCWS]. It has given me the opportunity to change my life by giving me a nice, calm environment to face the challenges of getting back on my feet and overcoming a bad situation. There is always someone on staff 24/7 willing to always lend an ear or shoulder anytime I need a boost of encouragement or have any type of issue that I need to resolve. I would recommend KCWS to anyone in need of a safe place to regroup and focus on rebuilding their life!"
