Impact Testimonies

Home visitation was the biggest blessing. I made a friend for life. She became like family. I learned so much about what was available in the community. I learned about the development of my son. I learned to have more confidence in life and in raising my son. It just takes one person to believe in you to make changes. Through home visiting I was able to control my anxiety of being a mother and a homeowner.

I never knew that finding playgroup was going to be the best thing that happened to my daughter and I. I have never felt so welcomed anywhere before. The day I arrived, Kim welcomed both my daughter and I with open arms. Amaya soon began to develop many friendships, but little did I know, so did I. My daughter has been able to develop so many skills being surrounded by children of all ages. Suddenly I started to learn so much about my community and the many resources that were available to my family and I. I had found a village that was willing to make sure I had everything I needed to continue to grow and succeed.
