A huge shout out to Meka, our emergency aid specialist, for his extraordinary dedication! Meka had surgery on Tuesday. At that time, he was told that he would not be able to walk for a minimum of four weeks.
Mister Meka missed his team so much that he asked to be brought in. One of our team members agreed to pick him up, under the condition that Meka would not work. That promise lasted 2.3 seconds until the families we served saw him.
Hugs were abound as the adults Meka previously served started to "mom" him. Families of all different races and ethnicities offered to support and cook for him. His response was: "How can I support you?"
We are proud of our entire team and especially of our young team members who are help show community members they are respected without expectation of reciprocation. To us, giving is personal. Meka is one example of the dedication our team members have to those we serve.

Shout out to Broadview Federal Credit Union for being an exceptional partner in volunteerism. Each month, Broadview Team Members volunteer on-site at the organization. They never know what they will be doing when they come in; they only know it will be an adventure. Last week, they built lightsabers, inspected, sorted, distributed gifts, and packed emergency aid for children in crisis.
Recovering from abuse, neglect, and abandonment is never easy, but at Things of My Very Own, we bring joy to the healing process.
