"We are an all-volunteer organization with
limited professional skills. Adobe's donated
technology is helping us present our story to
the public and to lenders in the format of a
much larger organization. With Adobe, we
are able to knock off a few of the "rough
edges" so that our story is front and center
instead of our technological limitations.
Thank you, Adobe!”
