With Open Arms

Amazing group home; I was in several from the ages to 15 to 18 and nothing compared to Havens open arms! Thanks to them I got to finish out my final year of school feeling like a normal teenager and not a foster kid. We use to go on outings and do things at least once a week, once I was there for awhile they allowed me to have a phone and, a job. I got to go to my prom and after me and Fanny went to steak and shake. They not only set me up for my future but during my time there I was showed unconditional love and given trust that I had never had before, I couldn’t of asked to be sent to a better place and still to this day 8 years later I still consider them family and I love and appreciate everything they have done and still do for me.

The best foster company in all of Florida, hands down. Ms. Sheena and Ms. Fannie are so supportive of all of the children they take in and do everything they can to better their lives. Havens Open Arms is more than a foster placement, it is a forever home, even after you leave.

Great and Amazing group home!! They helped me with homework if needed. When I was upset they would let me vent as long as I was calm enough to do so. Fannie Fields is an Amazing group home director along with her daughters. They all do their part and support their kids that are living in the group home. They take great pride in going to church which in my point of view is amazing ☺️ The staff are extremely patient with the kids and take the time to get to know them and even if a kid in the group home is disrespectful they stay calm and handle the situation with much maturity and professionalism. I would recommend this group home to many others who are in need of spiritual help and who are in need of a welcoming and more comfortable environment. Fannie Fields and her staff treat the kids as if they're family and in a way we are and I specifically think They should get more recognition and praise if they haven't already! Love you Haven Open Arms Family!
