“I just got off the phone with my mom. She was just raving about the Converse Home. She couldn’t say enough about how kind and helpful everyone has been to her. She said “ I’m so happy I can’t believe it”! I am so thankful that we found you. I have been able to relax for the first time in months. It feels good not to worry about mom every second. Thank you so much!”
