							I was involved with the facility back in 2017. Andrew Staum was literally an amazing caseworker. He seemed genuine. While I had other issues going on with my case, KVC was easy to deal with and seemed to want me to succeed. I should have taken better advantage of the resources offered. The parenting class offered was actually great too. I feel like all new parents should have to take that class.

							I have never been in KVC or around any of the facilities but 1 thing is for sure I know several people that have worked at the facilities and they are very good people and they always talk about how much they like working for this organization. The people that I am talking about have been working for this organization for many years and they also live with the attitudes that they have brought them success on their jobs as well.
