Lived there in the early 90s. that place wasn’t perfect but it did its purpose. when I had to leave to go home I didn’t even want to leave but I did get the help I needed and I had fun

Years ago I was lucky enough to be a Volunteer at this amazing place. Words cannot describe how lucky I felt to be apart of something so life changing. I loved going there and seeing how dedicated every staff member was to these children and how their love and dedication changed the lives of every child there. I'm not going to lie and say it was all sunshine and daisies , there were a lot of sad situations. But it is about how you handle those situations that can really make a difference and they handled every situation with grace. I never got the feeling that the Teachers who were there weren't there for the right reasons and I truly felt that they cared very deeply about each and every child. I found out very quickly that it wasn't for everyone by the looks that I got when I described it as a place for the children to go so that Child Protective Services didn't have to get involved. I just felt like saying to those people, I'm sorry but that is how it was described to me, that it was a facility that gave care to less fortunate families to relieve the stress at home so the children at home don't get hurt. I know it is much more than that but that was the details I was given. I loved every moment of my time there and miss it everyday. If I could give more than 5 stars for this place I would, they are so amazing.
