Laura’s mom, Angela, DG Alumna from Washington University in St. Louis: If I had to describe Anchor Center in one word, it would be “home.” Thank you to my fellow Delta Gammas who support the home that:

welcomed me back through its doors with open arms, this time as a concerned first-time mother;
surrounded Laura with love, helping us to see life differently and bright future for our daughter;
discovered Laura’s passion for the water, for tap dancing, for making new friends;
prepared her for kindergarten and, most importantly, gave her the tools and the voice to say:” I’m here.”

Scroll down to read a heart-warming, moving letter from Angela and feel the love that surrounds her daughter, Laura, both at home and at Anchor Center.
