"I just want to say, that this service has been a tremendous blessing to
our family. The care providers are wonderful. My daughter likes them, and is
always pleased to know one of them is coming."
"I feel like the Respite Program and all involved in it go out of their
way to meet my family's needs."
"You have a great service and I appreciate the hours I get each month.
My job gets pretty depressing at times and a few hours away from home is the
answer. I thank you for allowing me this time."
"No one can imagine just how much we care when someone, somewhere offers
a helping hand. It seems these programs have to have been started by someone who
has been there."
