I had an amazing opportunity present itself to me a few months ago. I offered my services to a non-profit organization that cares for children and families in crisis. Two weeks ago, I was asked if I would be willing to take some photos for their annual report. YES.I.WOULD!
It was my job to ensure that we got a couple of good photos of each family that was interviewed. Needless to say, I just don't stop at "a couple". :) This little guy was too cute for words!!
He is two years old and is the son of an amazing young woman who fought to escape a really bad home-life situation. Having only been exposed to a very rough lifestyle, she was able to determine on her own that there was so much more to life than what she had grown up around. After becoming pregnant, she enlisted the help of this non-profit organization.
This precious child means the world to her. It was evident during our short time together. She knew she wanted to give her baby boy all that she never had as a child.
Through this amazing non-profit organization, she has been able to provide a stable, healthy and happy environment from the time he was born up to now, at 2 years of age. This brave mother not only chose to leave her prior life behind, but has since graduated high school, obtained a job and is currently going to college to be....
a social worker, counselor or therapist. Pay it forward? I think so! What a wonderful opportunity to see love in action!
