Quote of the Day

.
WE ARE NOT PUT ON THIS EARTH FOR OURSELVES, BUT ARE PLACED HERE FOR EACH OTHER. IF YOU ARE THERE ALWAYS FOR OTHERS, THEN IN TIME OF NEED, SOMEONE WILL BE THERE FOR YOU.

- Jeff Warner



I heard this quote at a brunch for Seattle's Sacred Heart Shelter which is an amazing resource for women in need. We heard one such story from a former resident who had the entire audience in tears after telling her heartbreaking story that lead to her stay at the shelter. She was so grateful to have found a temporary bed for herself and her young daughter in their time of need, along with a warm meal, a shower, and help tapping into available resources in the city. With the help of the shelter she found a job, an apartment, and the opportunity for a better life.
