The Neighborhood Care Center in Clinton has been up and going for roughly four years.

The non-profit is unique in the fact it seeks to bring out the best of those in need and Executive Director Cody Monkman believes there not be a better example of that than a recent individual that came to them from the Chicago area.

On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, he introduced Regional Radio listeners to Lorry Thomas who was in a tight spot just a few months ago.

According to Thomas, she was connected to the Neighborhood Care Center by trying to navigate the non-profit world of Decatur. She calls it a blessing to have been connected to the Center in Clinton.

Monkman explains Thomas has been one of the success stories for the Neighborhood Care Center but indicates it's not a simple process. Getting to know each individual and their story is a big part of the process of helping someone.

Thomas credits Monkman and the folks at the Neighborhood Care Center for being encouraging to her but Monkman says Thomas just needed someone to believe in her.

Thomas has loved her time in Clinton and speaks very highly of the community and its embrace of her multi-racial son.
