Praises for UCHRA for Transportation
Macon County Times
June 22, 2005
I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation
for what the people at UCHRA have done for me. They have
enabled me to find my own means of transportation.
Because of this, they have given me a sense of pride and
dignity.
I want to acknowledge the efforts of Tracey Powell and her
drivers for what they do each and every single week. Despite
the troubles that they go through, they do the best they
can. I know for a fact that each and every single driver
cares very much for each client. Having ridden with them
for eight years, I have no regrets about the time that I've
spent riding with these good men and women.
Thanks for everything, guys. I appreciate what you do for
me each and every single week. Thanks for providing me with
my own means of getting around.
