We are doing well, and we are doing good. There is a difference.
In order to understand how we do good, you need to understand who we are. That message
may seem peculiar to this audience because you are our supporters, our advocates, our friends, our
family. But so often the message of what we do gets obfuscated or hidden behind policy considerations,
financial discussions, or completion of fund-raising tasks. So here goes:
We are the family that sits at the supper table that provides scant offerings because Mom, Dad
or someone at the table was a victim of job down-sizing and is now unemployed.
We are the family of a child who sits huddled in a corner, covering his ears, trying to block out
the sounds of an argument that has escalated into violence and physical abuse.
We are the family that gathers in a circle before the children go off to bed in order to pray for
the safety of a loved one who stands thousands of miles away, dressed in desert khakis, in hostile territory.
We are the family whose children struggle with school performance and attendance, and who
find greater comfort with street acquaintances than within their own family because of the rift and tears
caused by substance abuse.
We are the family of a young woman who struggles to understand why she and her partner
simply can’t seem to get along anymore and fears that her family will be torn apart through separation
and wonders how she and her children will get by.
We are the family who has been working tirelessly after school to tear out the walls, remove
the furniture, the keepsakes, the photos of a happier time, and the muck left behind by a river that could
not be contained.
We are the family that otherwise doesn’t exist for an elderly gentleman who has lost his mental
faculties and isn’t able to make decisions about the care of his property or his person.
We are the family of a young man, who sits by the phone vascilating between making the call
or taking the pills.
These are the families with whom we work daily through Counseling Services, anger management, batterer’s intervention services, high risk youth re-entry, time limited family reunification, family
finding, Youth Outreach, Guardianship, and of course Help Line. These are the programs that do good.
In sum, Family Service Association of Wyoming Valley is doing well at what is arguably the
most difficult economic time for not for profit organizations in many decades. Our programs are strong,
.
our spirit is high, our staff is highly capable, and our volunteers are the very best
In fact, over the past
year, I have observed a staff and volunteer collaboration that speaks to the very name of our organization – Family Service…..That has been the focus --- our Family working to the benefit of all families.
