Click & Pledge Next Generation Grant

This special honor entitled us to take part in a 20-30 minute documentary created by professional digital story tellers who believe in the power of nonprofits.  We will be part of a series, with other charitable organization, aired before national audiences this upcoming year. The key component or this grant was a short essay on “What does home mean to you”.

Home to us is not where you lay your head, but rather where your heart is.  It’s making a difference in the world we live in today, tomorrow, and our future. It’s standing up for what you believe in,  protecting, aiding, and helping others facing  difficult times. It’s lending a hand when you’re not asked to.  It’s  helping others climb that mountain that life throws at us, and many times the mountain after that, and the mountain after that.  It’s what we do that makes a home.  It’s the love, tears, and sharing that brings us all  together. Home is so much more than a warm bed, a roof over our head, and a comfortable couch. Home is a feeling that lifts us up and opens our hearts to others. t is love, security, and a connection.  It is making a difference in the world we live in today.
