Being the $60m Dollars winner of the 2023 lotto max is a great gain. I vowed to help people in need of financial support, Being blessed with $60m dollars really meant a lot to me and I feel like I don’t deserve it as I know the real struggle people go through in a bid to make ends meet. Therefore I voluntarily decided to donate and touch the lives of men and women who have found themselves in financial crisis, to individuals around the world according to how God leads me to do. I try to reach people randomly from different sources and modes so as to touch lives from different parts of the world. Now I’m giving you an opportunity to share your pain with me drop a message for me and I'll reply you. Respectfully: Camellia kazemi

Please bear with us - today is MOVING DAY!

Our two largest clinics in Anchorage are swapping buildings, to get children's services closer to a playground and adult services closer to a bus stop.

Please check your appointment reminder to confirm your appointment location, and pardon our piles of boxes!
