As most already know sadly we Closed the doors this past Friday July 20th for the final time at Heritage Adult. This was something that was out of everyone's control as the center in the past has not been ran efficiently & it has caused a large financial burden. My heart is broken as I loved this place beyond words & put my heart & soul into helping it grow. I seen elderly people that couldn't remember hardly anything become the best of friends, I seen mentally handicap adults be so happy & excited to get to be there each day, I seen staff & volunteers hearts grow larger with each hug & I love you's from the clients, I seen family's that were beyond exhausted enjoying that daily break & few hours to themselves, I seen other families enjoy knowing their loved one was happy & safe as they worked to make a living & provide for themselves & their families.
I wish there was more we could have done as a community because this IS a Asset that is needed in our Community & has been there almost 20 years & ANY of us could be facing a family member or ourselves tomorrow needs this place. I know 1st hand life changes in the blink of an eye for anyone. Please pray for the Clients, Families & Staff of HADR as we try to move down lifes path with a new plan.
I feel Honored & Blessed to have been given the privilege to be the Director at HADR the last yr & a half. An my life has been more richly blessed & my heart much larger by this opportunity given to me.
God Bless each of you!
