Role of Community Support
Starting to rebuild his life, Henry found strength in community. Shelter introduced him into a like-minded group of people who had gone through their respective struggles and were now working towards stability. The connections reminded him that he wasn’t lonely.
The friendly act of the stranger inspired help in Henry from other people too. The people who had seen him for years in the park started small gestures of support towards him such as donations, job leads and positive words.
Henry’s story spread about, leaving people touched by the ripple effect of compassion from one person. A herald to the ripple effect that can bring such big changes with a single act of kindness.
