It has been a very challenging last couple of years for our family, which consists of myself (gramma) and two grandchildren; now 10 and 11. Their present supports are varied and wide-reaching, but I’m very grateful for the support we received from Hope4MVCKids.
My grandson was in need of intense behavioural therapy, and after years working with AMH, we needed to explore other avenues. I secured a specialized therapist out of Calgary, but the costs for private therapy were staggering. I applied to Hope4MVCKids, and was accepted for funding to assist with the initial assessments and some therapy sessions. My grandson still sees his therapist 2 years later so I’m glad we received the initial assistance from this non-profit organization.
The application process is easy and quick. You don’t have to wait weeks to hear back from them and Katie is very supportive.
More recently, the opportunity for equine assisted therapy became available for both children, and Hope4MVCkids was very generous in funding this new avenue of support.
After applying to many different agencies for funding, Hope4MVCKids is local, approachable, and interested in the families they support. MVC is very fortunate to have this group of concerned, dedicated individuals working toward the goal of healthy children and families by filling in the gaps of supports needed where no other options are available.
