By Robin Temple | Director of Development
I am the new Director of Development at Genesis Home. During one of my very first days I saw 2 little girls wandering in the hall near my office which is in the same buildling where the families live.
They looked lilke they might be lost so I asked with my big eager smile, "Can I help you find your home?" One of the little girls popped her head up and said emphatically, "This ain't our home, this is just someplace we stay."
I asked her what she called the"place". She just shrugged her shoulders.
I didn't know either. But I never called it a home again.
Genesis Home houses more children than adults at any given period. They can't have a puppy, or friends over, or paint their wall any color they like . . . or even put up a spiderman poster.
But - they laugh and are shy and are precious. They fall down, get up again, and run to their parents.
They go to daycare and school and camp - - and skateboard down the hilly sidewalks - much to my shagrin.
But . . .Genesis Home isn't their home . . . I don't live here (she said). I just stay here.
Your donations, gift cards, love and support will pave the way.
Blessings to you,
Robin, the newbie
