It Takes a Village...

6/1/2022

It takes a village to raise a child; it also takes a village to neglect a child--read that again. These are not my words, and I could not agree more.

I had the pleasure of sitting with a little who built an outstanding fort in our lobby. While hiding in the fort, the little told me they would be mad at me all the way up to the sky if I told their parents about the hiding spot. In context of the game, it was funny; in the context of the safety staying silent is not an option.

As I write this, I know there are children and youth we have not yet met; families struggling; and systems who are taxed. We ALL have the power to say something.

We can ALL say something, you may risk someone be mad at you all the way up to the sky--looking out for each other's safety is worth the risk.
