Review for Federation of Families of Central Florida Inc., Maitland, FL, USA
I am a single parent with two young children ages 14 years old and 2years old. We are domestic violence survivors and due to our situation had to relocate to Florida. We have only been in Florida 11months. we left all of our family and support system back in NY. My 14 yo daughter Jada was diagnosed with ADHD at age 6 we have struggled with a lot of different situations. When arriving to Florida it was somewhat of a culture shock for us, Jada began 8th grade and was struggling with the transition and finding herself amongst new people. As a single parent I was struggling myself with finding work and trying to keep everything together for us. Jada and I hit a rough patch and things got a bit hostile. I felt alone and didn't know how to help our situation. I did some research and found a flyer that read " SINGLE PARENT GROUP" I called the number to RSVP. from the min I called the number I spoke with someone who was very friendly and directed me to the Lead Family Coordinator. The following week I attended the single parent group and from the moment I walked in I felt the support and Understanding from the staff and other single parents. For once in a long time I had a sense of relief that things were going to get better. Jada is happy with the support she is receiving from her case managers as well as the Youth Move group she has joined. She is excited to be around youth who embrace her and relate to most of her struggles. I cant thank Federations of Family enough for helping my kids and I!
