Sometimes the smallest details tell the biggest stories.

A painted flower.
A colorful table.
A child finally feeling safe enough to talk. 🌸

This year’s Circles of Hope theme, Healing Blooms Here, reminds us that healing can begin in the simplest moments when children feel safe, heard and supported.

And healing blooms here in McNairy County, too. πŸ’™

Tomorrow, August 16, the 43rd Annual Circles of Hope Telethon will raise critical funds to help us continue serving children and families right here in our community.

Would you help us keep healing blooming here? Every donation makes a difference.

🍎 ROUND 2: Snack Sponsors Needed! πŸͺ

You all made this such a success last year that we’re doing it again! πŸ’™

Last year, we asked our community to help us keep the snack cabinet stocked for the children who come through the Carl Perkins Center, and you all showed up in such a BIG way. Because of your generosity, we were able to provide snacks throughout the entire fiscal year to children who may arrive hungry, come straight from school, or simply need a little comfort after sharing their story or attending therapy.

Something as simple as a snack can make a child feel safe, cared for, and welcome. πŸͺπŸ­πŸΏπŸ§ƒπŸ₯€

So… we’re going ROUND 2! πŸŽ‰

We are once again looking for 12 groups, businesses, churches, social clubs, service organizations, offices, families, or individuals who would be willing to sponsor one month of snacks for the children we serve.

And to everyone who sponsored a month, purchased snacks, dropped off goodies, or went out of your way to make sure our children had what they needed this past fiscal year…

THANK YOU! πŸ’™

You may never know which child you helped, but we promise your kindness made a difference.

It looks like jewelry, but it’s so much more. πŸ’™

At the Carl Perkins Center, children participating in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) work through one of the hardest parts of their healing journey: creating their trauma narrative. They find the courage to put into words experiences no child should ever have to endure.

When they reach the end of that process, they get to decide how they want to close that chapter. Some choose to tear it up or burn it as a symbol of letting go. Whatever they choose, we walk beside them every step of the way.

This incredibly brave young girl chose something truly beautiful. She turned the ashes of her trauma narrative into these pieces of jewelry.

Think about that for a moment!

She took something that represented some of the most painful moments of her life and transformed it into a symbol of strength, healing, and hope. Not because her story disappeared, but because it no longer defines who she is.

As she nears the end of her therapy journey at the Carl Perkins Center, we celebrate the resilient, courageous, and remarkable young person she has become. She is beautiful, she is brave, and her future is so bright.

Her trauma may always be a part of her story, but it will never define her. It does not determine her worth, her identity, or the incredible future that lies ahead.

To the sweet girl who inspired this post, we are so proud of you. Thank you for allowing us to walk beside you on your journey. We cannot wait to watch you continue to shine. You are stronger than you know, braver than you believe, and loved more than words can ever express. πŸ’™βœ¨
