A testimony from one of our families

Quotes

We didn’t know how to help our premature baby. We went to Home of Guiding Hands. They helped us learn  to sign with Max so we could communicate. We took max to the HGH playgroups so Max could play with other kids in a safe setting. Without the early intervention from HGH we don’t know where we would be.
