“I call her our Guardian Angel. There are not enough words of gratitude to express how thankful we are!” |
"I just wanted to share how amazingly helpful and supportive Archways has been for my family and I. After having my nephew for 5 months I was unaware of the program of Archways until I happened to have a free moment to log into a Kinship Zoom meeting. Tania was in the meeting and immediately asked if I could contact her. Within days Tania was at my house with resources I had never even heard of or aware was out there. For the first time during this relative care provider journey we were on with my baby nephew I felt like someone was really here for our family. Tania met with my family every other week for months to check in with what we needed help with. Not only did Tania connect my family with step up parents to help us financially with vehicle repairs and with helping make Christmas memorable for our 4 kids, Tania was also our emotional support person. I called her our Guardian Angel. There are not enough words of gratitude to express how thankful we are to Tania and Archways. What you all do for families is beyond anything I could have imagined. Thanks you!"
-Love, the Smiths “I love the program; Tania is always right there to help me. She made me realize how important grandparents are to our grandkids. Tania has become a close friend to me and I am so glad we have her in our life. I feel so much better knowing I always have her.”
