🍂 November is a Month of Thankfulness 🍂
As we enter this month of gratitude, I find myself reflecting on the many residents here at Mercer County House of Hope who are thankful for something so many of us may take for granted: another chance at life.
Another chance to rebuild relationships with their families. Another chance to be present for their children and grandchildren. Another chance to become productive members of their community and build a life in recovery.
Without the support of our community, none of this would be possible.
As we approach the holiday season, we know many people are asking, “Where is the best place to donate? What can I do to help?”
Let me share just a couple of stories from our residents.
One resident shared that they are thankful to have the opportunity to rebuild a relationship with their son and now get to see their grandchild. Think about what that means. The opportunity to rebuild, to heal, and to be present in the lives of the people they love.
Another young resident shared that they will not be able to go home for the holidays. They will be spending that time away from their family, but they are thankful for the family they have built right here at the House of Hope.
These are the things that remind us why we do what we do. Recovery is about so much more than sobriety. It is about restoring hope, rebuilding relationships, and giving people the opportunity to start over.
And it takes a village.
This November, if you are considering where to give or how to make a difference, we ask you to consider Mercer County House of Hope.
