Testimonials

"I was stuck in survival mode, partially paralyzed, and my medical insurance wouldn't pay for water therapy. With the NAO grant, I no longer had to choose between paying for food or the therapy I found worked best for me. Maryanne's encouragement has helped me get out there and move! After a month, I feel more circulation in my body, more vitality, and am energetic and productive in my daily life."

—Shakti Kennedy, Wardrobe consultant

"The National Action Organization loaned me money when I desperately needed it. I just made the final payment and am definitely out of the woods! I can be available any time to help out."

—Sophia A., Therapist, single mother

"The NAO gave me the connection to a generous grant to create my dream of a Sacred Garden here on Maui, where I can hold my empowerment and creativity workshops and open the peace gardens and labyrinth to the public. One of my recent clients wrote, 'I was embraced by the environment of love. My heart opened again. I am the woman I wanted to be.' Thank you for helping me make my dream a tranquil, supportive reality."

—Eve Hogan, Relationship advisor, inspirational speaker, author

"I had brain surgery and was rebuilding my life when Maryanne told me about the NAO. The CORR workshop curriculum really resonated with me, and I told her I'd like to do it. NAO gave me a scholarship for that workshop, and the timing was perfect—it was great to be heard and validated. The alumni support group is still valuable to me, and I appreciate Maryanne's graciousness."

—Belinda B., Organizer

"The NAO gave me the gift of two hours of time with Judy Domenici, a professional wardrobe consultant. Judy made me see how beautiful I could be with just what I already had in my closets. And this broke old misconceptions of who I was—from the inside out. A real awakening that has brought me to a better self-image of who I really am—attractive, able, and adventuresome!"

—Brook Trout, Bookkeeper, mother
