Recovery

A Poem contributed by former MHC Board of Directors Chair, Edwin Norse

Recovery

Recovery is what we do,
A daily chore that never ends.
A hope we can make all things new,
As each on each we must depend.

To wake up in a land that’s free,
To know that people care, support.
Discrimination, false decree,
Now placed aside, the battle fought.

To move beyond the suffering,
With medicine and new ideas.
To let the chime of victory ring,
To banish both the pain and fears.

So ring the bell of hope this day,
And shatter all of man’s dismay.

Cast from shackles which bound them, this bell shall ring out hope for the mentally ill and victory over mental illness. (Inscription on Mental Health Bell)

Across the country, nonprofits are being stretched to their limits. But the need? It hasn’t gone anywhere. Your donation today, may be the housing referral that helps someone get through another week. The in-home mental health support that keeps someone safe. The only meal they’ll eat all day. The difference between crisis or care. Every dollar changes lives. Every dollar is a lifeline.

Your donation will enable us to provide mental health services, including therapy, in-home support, and case management, to low-income individuals and individuals experiencing homelessness.
