“Change on Hamilton gave me somewhere to go when I didn’t know where else to turn. I found people who understood, and that changed everything.”

Walking through that door was the hardest part. But from the moment I got there, nobody judged me or asked me to explain myself. There were resources, there were people who had been through it, and there was just — space to breathe. I didn’t know a place like this existed in Allentown.
