Social Service System Broke

I used to be the Executive Director of a large Non Profit where I live in a little town called Easton Pa.We managed all the Homeless Assistance monies for our County, we had 16 other programs too all of which were geared toward helping people get self sufficient.And it worked really well I took woman and men who were in the system and gave them jobs. And in return it was the best darn group of people I ever worked with. You know why??? because they had all been there and now they had the opportunity to give back and they did daily.

We never turned anyone away,we always had a solution and they were all grateful. As I continue to blog I will share the stories and the trials and the endless stream of problems. Loss of jobs,sleeping in cars, drug addiction Vets who could not receive local care, A daily stream of those who the system failed and we helped put their lives back together, Each day I will write another story about a client who thanks to my team made it out of the grips of poverty and went on to live a “normal” life. I hope you find it interesting to me it was not a job but a passion and I will be grateful for it for the rest of my life. So the moral of today’s post is,,,,,,,,,  There is always someone worse off than you !   peace  Sandra
