Final Day of My Sabbatical

I went on Thursday to volunteer again, looking forward to helping out up at the front desk. We did have one other volunteer show up who was getting a refresher course because she used to volunteer but it had been awhile since she had been there. I read some more of the training guide and answered the phone. On this day we had mostly clients coming in for assistance with diapers, formula and wipes. If they needed someone to talk to they can also get counseled and some would request prayer. I asked the ladies if pharmaceutical reps. brought in any formula donations but they said they have tried and they do not. They rely solely on donations. We did have BeltWay show up with donations of wipes and diapers. This is my second time to do my Sabbatical at Pregnancy Resources and I have learned a lot more this time around. I have a lot of respect for what these ladies do and for the genuine care and love that they show these young girls. What they receive here sometime may be the only people they have to turn to, some do not have family here in town, others do have family but are from broken,unstable homes. I am saddened by what some of these girls have gone through in life at such a young age, but I am very relieved that we do have an organization such as Pregnancy Resources that they can turn to for help. I also got to spend much needed time with my parents and took care of many Dr. Appts. I also got to rest during our rainstorm 🙂 It was wonderful!! I feel so blessed to have had this opportunity and would like to thank Kris and the board for this, because it came at a time when I really needed it. Thank you all !!
