鈥淲ith Kirstie鈥檚 support and guidance, we have been able to reach out to many local and national businesses, to allow our students the same opportunities that others have access to.

We are sure that Kirstie and Aaron Services will be with us for many years to come, it鈥檚 amazing and we are so grateful!鈥
