AFC was able to secure bilingual remedial tutoring for Christian to help make up for all the years the DOE failed to provide him with an appropriate education.
"Eric is doing so well. A month ago he turned to me and said, 'I can’t believe I’m really in college. I never thought I’d get this far.' I can never thank you enough for everything Advocates did on Eric’s behalf. Not a day goes by when I don’t think about what saviors you were for him."
