The work we do at ICCS is compelling, and the people we work with move our hearts every day with their courage in the face of adversity, and the hope that they show for the future. While not every story has a happy ending, all are powerful, and bring us a new understanding of others, and of ourselves. The attached “Stories of Hope” are just a few of the many we hear every day. We hope you will be as impacted by them as we are.
