Last night we held our first meeting for the Children’s Harbor Montgomery Area Advisory Board. An amazing group of business professionals and volunteers willing to help us brainstorm ways to bring more awareness of our organization to the River Region. During the discussion it was mentioned how sometimes it is more comfortable for individuals to give financial support versus time simply because being in the middle of the mission is out of their comfort zone.
One of the board members, who is the father of a special needs child said it best. “Till it comes to your house.” When the ones you love are the ones that are diagnosed with “that” illness or suffering from ”that” disease, then you get it. . We seem to distance ourselves from people and situations that we are not comfortable with , therefore cheating our own selves of a real blessing. Instead of choosing to understand we choose to abstain. If you have a heart to help, there is a place for you. Volunteer; become involved with your time and talent. Make a difference . Do it now, don’t wait “Till it comes to your house.”
