Shaping Our Appalachian Region provides the opportunity for all to learn and work together to overcome similar problems in order to achieve common goals.
Starlink (through Shaping Our Appalachian Region) has made such a huge impact on my life. My parents can schedule and take doctor appointments without leaving the house! Also, I can do my job at the elementary school, because I have access to Google Classroom. Starlink is amazing!
I’ll never be able to express how grateful I am to the whole Shaping Our Appalachian Region team for helping me create a real, tangible way to achieve my dreams and working with me as a mom to lay the foundation for my family’s future.
