The end of another year is upon us and reflection is in the air. It’s an opportunity to reflect on the ripple effect of your life over the past year. Like a pebble dropped in the water, every interaction ripples out to touch a life and create another sphere of influence. The continuation of the ripple goes unseen, but the feeling lasts a lifetime.
A volunteer at The Drake House recently shared a story with me that touched my heart and made me realize the depth of the ripples we are creating. She spoke of a child whose family moved to The Drake House after several cycles of homelessness. At just 6 years old, he was defensive, angry, and withdrawn. As she began to work with him during the weekly TDH tutoring sessions, she realized that although his literacy was at grade level, he could not write.
As a former teacher, this volunteer sprang into action teaching him the fundamentals of writing and he was very responsive to the one-on-one instruction. She and I both marveled at the power of individual instruction and how eager to learn young people are when they have the opportunity to let their guard down with someone who cares. We both wished that was the case in our public school system, but were thankful we could provide that service to these children who have been through so much.
Years later that volunteer ran into the child while she was subbing at a local school. The class had to complete a writing assignment, and the child beamed recognizing her as he turned in his paper. No words were spoken, but the ripple was felt as she read his perfectly composed paper and saw him watching for her reaction. Her thumbs up said it all as he gathered his books and walked out the door visibly on cloud nine. That story reminded me that the ripple effect of the care we give at The Drake House can change the trajectory of a child’s life.
Donations to The Drake House provide the means for life enrichment that extends beyond a furnished apartment, programs, and a food pantry. Giving of your time, talents and treasures provides a network of support that restores a mother’s faith in herself and belief in community. That restoration ripples through the lives of their children in more ways than we can imagine. I am grateful to be a part of The Drake House team and appreciate the support of the communities we serve.
