Testimonials
“I found out about this place through some mutual friends. They told me about a party. I think it was during a refugee party. It’s really peaceful here. It’s a great place to get away from the stress of daily life…. I like being able to have a place where I can make close friends just to enjoy myself. I would recommend this place. I tell people this place has fun parties every week or so during the summer.”
Ewan Dallape

“[Ewan] always mentions how very welcoming they are. [The Hendricks] are a nice family, they are–incredibly welcoming. And they always make sure when they know [Ewan] is coming they accommodate his needs. Like they have a portapotty. They make sure those things are there. And that means a lot. Because not everywhere we go thinks of those things ahead of time and I feel like they really try. And that means a lot to me that they think about those things and think ahead. You don’t have to bring it up. They already know.”
