I wanted to be the best version of myself for my daughter; I wanted to have the strength to get it right. From now on, everything I do, I do for her.

As a full-time single father (with 2 babies under 2) the fatherhood group really keeps me centered and focused on being the best dad that I can be. I love the camaraderie as well as sharing our experiences in fatherhood.

I look forward to talking to my therapist every week because it feels like a conversation where I’m comfortable and open to sharing. It’s the best experience I’ve ever had in therapy and it has positively impacted my mental health.

I participated in two wellness groups and learned that I always have to be very aware of my baby and always advocate for her and for the family… I also learned about emotions, health, and how to choose a good school for my daughter.

I attended the maternity and postpartum class, and it was very helpful at the time of my delivery. I put into practice what I learned. I also participated in all the Abriendo Puertas classes and it has helped me a lot.

I love HPP. I feel like they actually want you to reunify with your kid. I don’t feel any judgment, and the staff don’t make me feel uncomfortable. It’s the best site I’ve been to for visits. The garden was a great place to have my visits.

There were times that I was really frustrated with my situation and [my case manager] helped me by reminding me of my end game, which is housing. When I got frustrated, I always heard her voice in my head, reminding me of my end game. I just got housed, and I am very appreciative of her.

Thank you for all the support I received. The car seat, stroller and pack and play will be of great help to me. However basic they may seem, they are a dream come true for me and my son.

I always feel better after meeting with my case manager. She helped me connect with four doulas! I was really nervous about having a baby but now I feel like I have a whole team supporting me.
