Sarah’s Circle

Sarah’s Circle is a day space for homeless or at risk women in the city of Chicago. They have computers with internet, snacks, job placement help, a washer and dryer and a whole closet full of clothes and toiletries that the women can have if they sign in and act with honor during their visit.
I volunteered at Sarah’s Circle on President’s day and was impressed with how well it was manged, the friendly staff and the clean environment. I helped out with an art activity and had an eye opening experience talking to these women. Some were mentally challenged, some abused, some down on their luck but all had surprisingly positive outlooks and faith. Their stories inspired me to look at my own life and be thankful for what I have.
