🧵1/ Shared Humanity at the Malden Warming Center
🗣️ Tonight during my volunteer shift, a guest told me that to volunteer here, we must be “special” people.
🤝🏽 I shared with him that it isn’t about being special. It’s about our shared #humanity.
Then I asked him, if he had the opportunity, would he volunteer?
👉🏽 Without missing a beat, he said he certainly would.
🎯 That answer says everything about the dignity and humanity that lives in our unhoused neighbors, so often overlooked…
2/2
✅ The capacity to serve and the need to be served often live in the same human heart, just separated by circumstance.
