Since then I've been reunited with my 5 children and have been offered so much support. The staff are always at arm reach if needed, if there are days you just need you time they give you that and don't pry. Always have something to keep you busy during the day, such as programs which help you grow as a individual and a parent. Best thing that happened for me and my children was Makoon❤️Noah Simmons2023-12-01I am a father who stayed at Makoon for 13 months. I came into makoon with my youngest son Dean in my care and left with all my kids back in my life. Makoon was a very big help with that process. I've been in many programs over the years and I can honestly say makoon is #1(best) their program touched base on everything I felt I needed to do to better myself. Our cfs file was closed after 4 months into the program. I was able to leave by then but chose to saty longer because i felt i wasnt ready and needed to build more supports before transitioning out of the program.The staff are awsome and caring. I didn't feel like they were just there to do their job but that they actually cared and wanted to help. The residents and their families made a big impact on me just being around them. Me and my son left makoon with everybody on the building being our friend. The programs makoon has to offer are well planned and coordinated. I enjoyed and looked forward to going everyday. Makoon also does alot for the families. Me and my son were so sad to leave but they continue to be a support for us. Makoon deserves more praise and recognition. I will always be grateful for the help and support from makoon. And Ms. Kathy cooks the best food 100%. I will continue to recommend this program to anyone 100%.Diondra Roulette2023-11-23Live, love, laugh, Makoon <3Evangeline Chartrand2023-11-22Literally my whole world fell apart ! I was in treatment when I found out about Makoon. I was really scared not knowing what to expect i felt so alone I didn't have my children. When I moved in I got all four of my children back. I jumped into programs right away and met amazing friends who are also going through a lot similar to me. I started not feeling so alone ❤. The staff here are beyond amazing they always got you!! and ive been through a lot!!!! and been to a lot of places/programs. I am 8 months sober and 1 day lol I am finally really doing the work and healing and have so much support helping me. My children love it they have so much fun and the staff are amazing with all the kids. This is only the beginning of my new life and I can't explain how happy and grateful I am too be here!! Makoon is a beautiful place for bringing families together again. ❤ Thank you Makoon!!!!Patrick Jennings2023-10-30I love this community great staff and environment that really does help with keeping our kids at home with their families
