(editor’s note: this is a statement of support from our fellow worker and community member Niki who wanted to the public to know what the New River Tenants Union means for her)

The New River Tenants Union was like a godsend! I heard about them from a friend of mine. I reached out to them and they got back to me in a timely manner. I explained my situation to them and they came through for me.

They helped me move, and clean my house because I was on a time crunch. Also they were moral support for me when I had to go to court. I feel they went above and beyond for me and you just don’t find people like that anymore.

That is why I support the New River Tenants Union and go to the meetings so I can help someone like myself one day when they feel like no on cares.
