TestimonialsZach Niles - Donor

“I want to know I am making a difference. In my opinion, there is nothing worse than seeing someone in despair, who feels they have no way out of their present circumstances. Seeing this helps me put my priorities into perspective. I want to be part of the solution for these people, and I know I will make a difference in their lives through IRT.”

“I give money to IRT because I have seen firsthand how effectively and efficiently they use my money. I trust them completely.”
