Last night I went to the funeral home for one of my student's fathers. I went with my coworker, Sue. As we were standing around talking about what we could do for the family someone who had been to the house mention the boy was sleeping on an air bed on the floor. They thought a bed would be appreciated. Mom agreed. This is a family that has many challenges to over come but they are good hard working people. Sue started thinking and talking. Today she and her husband built a full size bed frame (the student has some behavior issues and we were worried a store bought frame would not be sturdy enough). They went to the store and bought a bed and box springs using money that staff had donated to a fund for such occasions. Tonight she was going to pick up new bedding and have it delivered. I love her. She doesn't talk she acts. It is nice knowing there are people like her in the world. Being the day before Christmas Eve I know the had plenty to do but she felt the most important thing was for this student to get a bed.
Thought maybe some of you would enjoy hearing about the good that still happens.
