After sending this privately to HALO, Inc. Executive Director Holly Anderson Anderle and Board President Jasmine Fields, it dawned on me that our community deserves to see thanks given.
Leading a homeless shelter is no small task. It’s emotionally and physically exhausting. It’s thankless. It’s dealing with outside AND inside pressure EVERY DAY. It’s serving those without, with dignity and love.
Thank them. Take an opportunity to show how much you appreciate their efforts. Know that they work so hard with so little and do the absolute best with so many restrictions on time, funds and resources.
“I am so incredibly grateful to be among your passionate leadership- both of you.
Thank you.
It’s a thankless job. I know Holly. The world, and especially our community, is a better place with you in it.
I wish everyone could see how compassionate and dedicated you are to our underserved. You serve with dignity and love.
THAT doesn’t show up in ANY list.
So much love and respect for you both.”
