Volunteering my Support - Knowledge - Time - and more

Over the past 4 years I have kept myself busy walking the 'volunteer' pathway through Autism,

by helping to share my knowledge, understanding, support, acceptance, education, and more.  

There hasn't been a day go by where I haven't focused in some way on how to assist others.

I enjoy this pay-it-forward approach, doing anything I can, finding ways to support and share the  understanding of diversity. Helping others to re-group and take the steps to solve each issue as we face them.

We are here, we do care, you are not alone.......

I wasn't intending on posting about this…

….something so sad and devastating,

something that we as a small community have been continually facing for so long.

As a mining town we have had our ups and downs,

When you have to step out of your Comfort Zone.

Sometimes we have progress shine through all the mayhem that surrounds us……

…..and today was one such day.

The holidays, as usual, has seen a roller-coaster of emotion and confusion as the lack of routine schedules make it hard for A.J. to know what to do and how to cope with each day.
