Testimonials

Voices from our community

"A place of refuge, a home away from home,
Where strangers became family, and I was never alone.
A group home that welcomed me, with open arms,
And helped me grow, through life's joys and alarms.

In this home, I found my voice, my passion, and my fire,
And learned to navigate, life's twists and turns, with desire.
I grew in confidence, in self-esteem, and in grace,
And developed resilience, to face life's challenges with pace."

J.G. Former Resident, Poet

"My experience at Berhe Group Home was amazing. The staff was awesome, the children were awesome, but what I appreciated most was that the staff treated me like I was family. They showed me right from wrong."

Amarion F. Former Resident

"There will be times where I accidentally hear you talk about me to others and its always been positive. Thank you, Mr. Prince."
