St. Joseph's FAST |
Posted on Monday, December 7, 2009.
I would like to thank all the St. Joseph's FAST staff members, FAST families, and previous FAST families, also the entire St. Joseph's house parents and staff, "on a daily basis you share your life with our special ones". The FAST program has given our family such a good perspective of the true value of inter-action with our very special children. The feedback from our children is so genuine and sincere, in their conversations, the smile on their faces, they feel the positive atmosphere created by all that are involved, they feel the caring and sharing of their feelings, they feel the true closeness that we as parents and grandparents, are able to show them, and also to elevate them to their rightful place in the family circle, giving them their identity as a special part of the family. I feel that the FAST family concept intertwines traditional tribal family values passed on from our ancestors. The tribal family circle was the strongest and most important part of their life. Tribal unity began with family unity. Our family circle will forever be thankful for the opportunity to be a part of such a meaningful life experience. Thank you.- FAST Parent
