The last couple years have been a roller coaster for my little family and I. The family center and their advocates have been here for us every step of the way ensuring that even our simplest needs were met in such crazy times. From beds and toothpaste, the family center gave us the resources to sustain the current pandemic as well as succeed in all our goals individually and as a family. Without the amazing compassion of this organization, I would not have been able to provide such a structured environment for my children. We are so grateful!
Without the Family Center of Durango I would have gone crazy! They were able to offer me developmental information and support through the playgroups for my 3 month old. I was new to town and did not have a support system, I sure do now!
I truly am thankful that organizations like yours exist in this community. We all have to remember that no matter what your circumstance, we all come across bumps in the road but we are all here to help each other out through those times.
