Each and every day most of us experience
stability. We have a place to stay, food to eat and a car to drive. We have
these luxuries as part of our normal daily routine.
Now picture your life without just one of the
three, let alone all three at once.
The thought is SCARY to say the least;
right?
Well, these are just a few of the daily
struggles of the families we meet at Community LINC. It’s extremely sad and
disheartening.
One of the things I enjoy most about being
here at Community LINC is, right from the very start we try and meet family’s
right where they are!
For example, if they’re struggling to get from
place to place, we can provide on the spot intake screenings. This limits the
number of times a family has to travel for services while in crisis. We can
connect families with local food pantries, health care providers and other
community-related services to help a family in need. It’s truly a beautiful thing!
Seeing the daily struggles of these families
in crisis makes me truly grateful for the people (family, friends and co-workers)
in my life.
Community LINC is truly the most rewarding
and humbling job I’ve had. I make myself
remember to take nothing for granted.
