Feature Friday (May 2023) - Scott
by Hedwig House
Scott has been a very active Hedwig House member for many years.  He is always looking for ways to give back to his community. He assists with donations each week and is willing to join in whenever there are volunteer opportunities.  Scott is not only helpful in what he does, but he also offers great advice and stories in class.  Like many of us, Scott has dealt with many struggles in the past but has learned what helps him and how to overcome them. He then shares these insights with others in hopes of helping peers too. He is always happy to empathetically listen to his peers and provide advice when appropriate. He has been able to maintain a great relationship with his family and always likes to share news and stories about his grandkids. He also has a strong connection to his faith that he says helps guide him to do better in life and treat others well. Scott has been a great asset to Hedwig House, and we look forward to having him in group each week and working with him!
Feature Friday (April 2023) - Pauline
by Hedwig House
Pauline is one of our members from the Abington area who has been giving an exceptional amount back to the program and her peers over the past few months. She has donated her time and skills to the program and contributed to our recent Spotlight on Mental Health Event. She gave us paintings that she made to decorate at our offices and at the in-person gala for our fundraiser. She made a gift basket which was auctioned off at our fundraiser and a St. Patty's Day wreath that we will be hanging up for years to come to decorate for the holiday. She even regularly makes snacks and desserts for fellow members and staff. For our Easter celebrations this month, she made these tasty fruit and peep kababs for everyone to enjoy. Thank you Pauline for giving back to our program, we appreciate having you as a member of our community!
