    I was placed at The Coleman House when I was 9 with my sister who was 12! I always wondered if this place was still around, the staff treated me & my sister very well during a horrible situation. We wanted to stay there but my mother got custody of us & we were headed back home, which was not ideal for us. I wanted to Thank your staff for all that they did for us and I personally will never forget it! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Much Love and Prayers
