Testimonials
A Lincoln Cap Client said
"I had so much responsibility & stress on my shoulders before CAP got involved. I was trying to work as well as raise my 2 children on my own & felt like I was constantly paying out here, there & everywhere on debts.
I had no spare money for me to spend or take my kids out.

Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles.
(Psalm 34:4-6)
