Elmcrest Gratitude Month


by L.T., age 16
“Gratitude turns what we have into enough.” – Anonymous.

All of the difficulties we’ve faced this year have made us cherish the most important things – our health, our home, our family, our community. But not everybody has even these necessities.

Because fall is a time for giving thanks, we asked the children served by Elmcrest Children’s Center to write down what they were thankful for. Their responses are humbling. They reveal what really matters to children and youth overcoming challenges not of their own making - children who want only to learn, grow and thrive.

Because gratitude is meant for giving, we felt compelled to share these writings with you. During the month of November, we shared these messages every day on all of our social media pages - LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram.  By liking, commenting on and sharing these messages, you'll jump start a gratitude attitude among your friends.
