All PAPA programs are FREE or minimal cost

"I have been through just about every program that the organization has had to offer and now I have children that have benefited from the programs also. I have expressed my gratitude for all that they have done for me, and I feel that the least I could do is try and do my part to help the organization get to the next level."
