During April, buds come into full bloom brightening our days, and National Month of Hope also lends a hand in lifting our spirits.
Bringing hope to someone can take many forms. Being a positive role model in the life of a child or providing a community a foundation for future endeavors both provide hope for the future. Lift the spirits of a friend suffering from a medical issue or volunteer at a local homeless shelter. We are each able to bring a ray of hope in our own ways by contributing wisdom, time, kindness and when possible donate to charities that make the impossible possible.
How To Observe. Everyone needs a little hope now and then. Spread a little sunshine and bring some hope into peoples’ lives.
• Volunteer by reading to children in schools
• Experience meaningful and healthy communication with loved ones, family, friends, co-workers, and colleagues
• Giving of time, food, and/or money to help families in need

• Sharing your story of overcoming with those who are going through hard times
• Lending a helping hand to those in need
• Cleaning up areas where there is trash such as parks and beaches
• Spend a day with the homeless whether on the streets in shelters, etc. “Unless you walk a mile in their shoes you won’t know how to help!”
