Thanks for the Generosity

What would you like to see the city of Lexington do in 2011 to help strengthen all of its families? Here are some thoughts from Sheri Estill, The Nest’s Director of Crisis Case Management, on what Lexington residents have already done.

I am continually amazed by the generosity of people in Lexington. Both professionally and personally I have been truly humbled to know that in these tough economic times, people have gone out of their way to think of ways to serve others. Whether by time and talent, or items to be given to a child in need, or a monetary donation, you have stepped up and I thank you, very much. I wish you could also hear the thanks our clients share when I am able to help them out of a crisis. It is your generosity that allows me to do that.

My hope is that in this new year, you will remember that the “need” continues even after the holidays. Whether there’s snow on the ground or rain puddles in the park, there are always people whose load is lightened when you are generous.
