ored Rest E! HOP Neighborhood Alliance is Lorain County’s largest provider of Help Me Grow®, a state-wide program for expectant parents, newborns, infants, and toddlers that provides health and developmental services so that children start school healthy and ready to learn. Services are designed with the family’s concerns and goals in mind. Help Me Grow® is offered on a voluntary basis to families prenatal to when their child turns three. It supports families with newborns, infants, and toddlers by giving health information, positive parenting education and connecting families to community resources. We would like to thank Kelly with Help Me Grow at Neighborhood Alliance. She gives us advice about parenting and brings gifts for our family. We like doing the activities with our daughter that Kelly shows us. The Christmas presents for Sophia helped us when we could not give her everything we wanted to. The Family Care Basket was a surprise and helped our family with things we needed for our home! Kelly has been with our family since I was 8 months pregnant with Sophia. She has helped us meet our goals as a family and teaches us about Sophia’s skills. Sophia is now a year and a half and we appreciate everything that has been done to help our family.
