 "I worked with Vernetta for many years at Dallas County. She created Children on the Mend to address the needs of children living in poverty and low income situations. Initially we had back to school donation drives, as time progressed after school programs and summer lunch programs. This agency has filled the gap in services for many families and children in Dallas County, and surrounding counties. 
Sharon Walker -Final Touch Decorations

"I have experienced for the past 15 years, the passion, commitment and love that Vernetta Kinnard, the Founder of Children on the Mend, exhibits to youths. This organization goes well beyond their mission for the progression of each child in education, resources and services, guiding them to a successful future! "
Dapheny Fain - MMS

"I recommend this great organization to anyone that has young adults and teens that need a little extra guidance in their lives. It is a great program! "
