I had previously cared for some of these residents when they lived at an orphanage nearby, so
I was thankful for the opportunity to begin volunteering with the Cedar Foundation so that I could
visit one of the residents whom I had previously known.The most valuable aspect of my
participation is that two times a week I get to spend quality time with a young lady who hasn’t
had a lot of love poured into her life throughout the years. I know that my time investment and
my investment of myself in another life is making a difference. This is very satisfying, especially
as I see her responding to such an outpouring of love. I know that my visits are improving the
life of this young lady and I am thankful for the opportunity afforded me by the Cedar
Foundation.
