“Dominique made a visit to all R friends a few weeks ago and couldn’t get over how great the program was. She said it was very organized and everyone knew the rules. She said no wonder Jenna and I love the program.” – Parent
“You guys don’t always hear this, but I’ve talked to several parents recently who have stated how thankful they are for All R Friends. You would be surprised to hear which participants rave about this place when they get home and are excited every day to come back.”-aRf Director in an email to his staff
“All the glory to God! Thank you Dottie and to all the staff for your never ending love, patience and understanding for our sweet teddy bear “
“It is going great! Pat and I have had numerous conversations around what he likes about the program. It is hard for him to convey but I think it gives him a sense of purpose/reason to get up in the am….and he enjoys getting out and being social with others! I am so pleased with his motivation to get up early enough to take Ella for a walk before he eats breakfast and gets ready to leave for the program. He speaks highly of the staff and their patience with other clients who maybe get frustrated etc…I love to hear that as I imagine some of the clients would not be able to advocate for themselves.”
“We know how much Ry loves it there because when we talk with him over the weekend about his week and ARF he gets a big smile on his face. We are so thankful for everyone of you.”
“He loves AllRFriends!! I am so glad to hear about all of his progress, especially recovering quickly after he gets upset about something! Please tell everyone thank you”
“I just talked to Ryan’s mom on the phone and she told me she is super happy with All R Friends. She said he is coming home and saying new and mature things such as “let me think about that” that he has picked up on there. She also said after being out sick for a few days he said “I am done being sick, and I need to get back to my Crew”. I love that! Just wanted to share.”
“I just wanted to take a minute to tell you how appreciative we are that T has been able to get back into the program. It has made such a difference in his behavior and mood. He has been out sick this week and has voiced several times that he misses his friends. You have a wonderful program and fabulous staff!! Thank you from the top of my heart:)”
“It’s an amazing, extremely professional family run business with services for folks with special needs. They are out in the Community all the time. Fantastic staff, and very creative activities. My D is full of joy every day when he comes home from All R Friends!”
Your words always put a smile on his face. It thrills me that he is so welcome at all R friends. I would love for him to attend more, you are right, his work schedule has become more demanding.
He works on the average 25 hours per week, over 5 days. He loves his job and interacting with co-workers. He is a working man, and I am proud to say, supporting most of his bills on his own. I recall that it is all R friends environment that has given him the confidence and ability to interact positively with his coworkers. For that I am so grateful to you all at aRf. You all have helped Andrew achieve the ability to become a contributing member of society. Thank you all for making my dream for his future become a reality. Andrew looks forward to his continued visits to aRf, although short. He enjoys aRf and all of you! Thank you, thank you, thank you.” Susan

“I went to see Russell this morning at All R Friends. He was doing so great! It was awesome to see him so relaxed and happy with his group. He seems to be fitting in just great, and was sitting with a friend that seemed like they have really gotten to know each other well. Russell was very talkative and happy. I will say in the almost 7 years I have worked with him I’ve never seen him talk back and forth in a meaningful conversation back and forth like he was doing with me, but especially with his leader… It was amazing. I feel like his staff already know him better after a few months then his instructors at his previous day program knew him after years and years. It also looked like he had lost weight and I’m wondering if it’s because he is being encouraged to get up and move more (not get pushed around in the wheelchair all day). Anyways, I’m so pleased at how well he is doing, and I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!…Russell really has great quality of life now. He loves All R Friends, and I only wish I had sent him there sooner. He loves everyone there, and he is so happy all the time. He used to be like this, and it’s so good to see that joy return to his life. “ Carrie (SC)
