She believes in what they are doing and how they work to accomplish the goals of each individual client and being a Christian-based Agency, she likes how they put a lot of time and energy treating their employees fairly also. One of the things that make June stand out is her compassion for her brother, who is challenged, yet independent! She's the wind beneath his wings. She stands in the background letting him do what he can on his own yet she's there to help him when he needs the help. She tries never to crowd him, but at the same time letting him know she's there.
