“Here to Serve does not count success by providing a lot of people with band aid solutions. Here to Serve comes through during the deepest, darkest, most stressful time that a parent can face. When a child is gravely ill, Here to Serve is there to help families bridge the gap from heart ache and cat5astrophe to a new life, which sadly doesn’t always include their child. When my lively, happy, athletic 11-year-old daughter was brought down by two strokes, Here to Serve found me on my knees. Here to Serve mobilized my community and helped develop a support system for grander than I would have cr3eat3ed on my own. I got help with meals, dog walking, fundraising, rides for my son, cleaning and much more. During the first year, I had 10 case managers and 12 social workers handing me list of organizations to call for help. Here to Serve was the only organization on those list that made a difference in my life. Here to Serve held my hand so that I could keep going, create a new life and get back on my feet. I can honestly say that I don’t know what I would have done without them.”
