“'Humanity is meant for community and for togetherness. There is something very fundamental about being acknowledged, of being seen, as a person. The heart longs for a human embrace, for the attentive ear of another, who shows some interest in being with them and listening to what they say.' - unknown

I want my neighbors to know that I see them; I feel them and I will continue to hold space in my home, heart and this community, for those in need. "
