“Amazing Place West is a testament to years of vision, hard work, and faith from so many of our supporters over the last several years,” said Amazing Place Executive Director Tracey Brown. “Along with our leadership, the Katy and west Houston communities have been phenomenal with their gifts of time, money and treasure enabling us to open a second campus and double the number of people we serve. This support means everything to the families and individuals we work with. We are blessed indeed.”
