On the first day of demo, hearing repeated thunderous booms, our
three– and –four-year-olds (whose current child care is in a small
building next door to where our new center will be built) rushed to the
glass door to see what was happening. A few minutes later, as I walked
through their classroom, a three-year-old who lives in The Shelter with
his mom and two sisters ran up to me. Wide-eyed and excited, he told
me all about what he had just seen. I bet he will never forget the day he
got to see a huge building being torn down. In the coming months, he’ll
see a new one go up. And it will be built for him.
The experiences we have as little children stay with us forever. Thank
you to each of our donors and supporters for helping give these children
some good experiences to remember.
