I love helping others

I began volunteering in our community working with women and children who are homeless and struggling. A lot of the women I meet are in recovery. I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for anyone in recovery, especially women. It’s wonderful to watch women grow and be reunited with their families.

Addiction really wreaks havoc on families.Seeing the healing that is possible through changed behaviors and rigorous self-examination is an awe-inspiring thing.I try not to give up hope.
It's 16 years after I managed to put down the bottle and dummy dust and attendant insanity and I'm always seeking ways to encourage and support those who struggle with this.On Weds I go back to cooking dinner for about 50 of our community's most vulnerable,after about a month off-the other volunteers are super glad to have me back on board and it does me a lot of good as well.
As an added bonus I had a quick heartfelt chat with Dave the kitchen engineer at my super fancy retreat summer job and as a result I found he swung by and filled our fridges and freezers with leftover luxury goods,so it looks like I will be dishing out top quality lamb stew !

I don't see govenment,the prison system or our overburdened mental health outreach programs effectively addressing this crisis,but I do see regular folks making a difference one-on-one,so keep up the good work!
Same. I volunteer at the soup kitchen and shelter in my area, weekly.
