Judy Muhn's Blog - August 2008
It was a slow day ... so slow that I wondered if my computer was down, or the phone line had gone bad again ... and wondering if I was making a difference in the community, in Oakland County, in UWSEM ... and then it happened. An "Angel" in the form of a co-worker/messenger appeared by way of an e-mail: it was the blog post of Bill Sullivan about the death of a person served through 2-1-1 ... the partner of another client. And there couldn't be a funeral because there wasn't enough money for it .... so now I had my motivation for coming to work: I needed to help however I could, and this day it felt like the best thing I could do was donate money to help the funeral happen. So, I did ... and thanks to Bill Sullivan and the others with him that day, a man was able to give an appropriate "goodbye" to a dear loved one. I guess that's the way to Live United ... at least for THAT day!
