“I hate to say the word ‘easy,’ but it truly did feel like an easy process because of the amount of guidance and wisdom Project Equity so freely offered at every meeting. We never felt like we had to worry or think about anything, because we knew we could always just ask, and we were able to trust the information that was given to us.”
