Day 4

One more week has passed by and back to Healthcare for the Homeless we go. Today, we finally got to see Ms. Cherie and of course she was happy to see Amy and I. She showed us a frame where she put our pictures we sent her for the Helping Hands Volunteers and she keeps it in her office. Once we said hi, we continued with alphabetizing the files. We finished one whole side and on to the next side...slowly but surely we are going to get this done! Looking at the shelves, Amy and I want to organize not only the files but all the binders and loose papers that have been sitting around. These files probably have not been touched in awhile..and we saw proof. We found a Chick Fil-A coupon..I said, I wonder if this is still good...but no, it expired. When? July 3, of 2003!! That coupon had been there for 7 years...so the files probably haven't been touched since then. I also realized that this project can be a dangerous job...this week's injuries: a big bruise on my knee and a paper cut. Today..Elizabeth came in today and told us that what we do really helps and it is much easier to find the files. As little as a job as it seems...her comment makes it feel that we make a difference. Until next time...hopefully we can finish the files!!
