With the hopes that we could create a better future for kids that have suffered because of suicide, abuse and rape we created a Write For Life. Here we are now, our first six weeks completed. Our first set of children returning to their normal life with a different perspective of life and God then what they had when they first came to us. With Write For Life we try to make a permenent differnce in these lives.
All of us with the program have been in the places of the children at one time. We know how it feels to be them. To be in that place is horrific enough, but to not have someone to talk to, or feel like you have no one you can trust, that's even worse. We became those people. We became the ones that they learned to trust. The ones they can talk to.
Everything that has happened in this past six weeks has changed not only Heather, Jakob, Emma, Anthony, Brittany, Katey, and Brandon; but it has also changed Sarah, Philip, and I. As the staff for Write For Life we stand here and make a promise to every child in need of a trustworthy friend, guidence, and a place to come when things get hard, that we will always be here and willing to help in any way we can.
For us this has become more than a job, this has becaome a way of life. We believe that it's kids like these that will changed our futures which is reason enough for us to opn our hearts to these kids.
This was just my portion. There were also Sarah's and Philip's.
