Health and Human Services Day

This was a very emotion-packed day for me on so many levels. I did not expect the day to be so emotionally draining yet enlightening. One thing I know for sure is that there is a great need for funds in so many areas. I truly feel blessed to be in a position to help others. The tour of the VOA Food Bank was enlightening. It amazes me everytime I meet the people who work and volunteer their time in these locations. It is very hard to go to work and have a bad attitude after seeing them in action. What do I have to complain about? I have a nice home, food in my pantry and clothes to wear. I also have a job ( for the time being).

I was amazed when I saw the magnificent cancer center. What a jewel to have right here in Everett. The team that developed that wonderful facility had such attention to detail. What a pleasant place to go during one of the most difficult times in a person's life. I felt at peace the moment we stepped into the facility. It is clear to see that a lot of healing takes place there.

The Domestic Violence video made it hard to hold back the tears. What a powerful message we heard from that video " You're Not Better Than Me."

I look forward to these education days each and every month because they just keep getting better and better. I have learned so much from the people who are in the program with me and also from the presentations that I have seen. I cannot wat to see what happens next month.
