Last Thursday was one of the scariest moments we’ve had as a family.
My daughter was at home doing school and went to plug the TV into an extension cord and it exploded in her hand.
In an instant, everything changed.
But what also showed up in that moment… was this community 🤍
The firefighters and paramedics who responded were incredible.
Calm, reassuring, and exactly who you hope shows up in a moment like that.
One of the female firefighters even rode in the ambulance with my daughter at her request, just to help keep her calm and supported. That meant more than I can put into words.
The team at Strathmore Hospital was just as amazing.
They kept her informed, helped ease her fear, and handled everything with so much care while coordinating with Children’s.
We talk a lot about community through Balance + Restore Co.
But this… this is the community we live in.
And I am so proud to call it home.
To the people who showed up for my daughter in a moment she needed it most, thank you 🤍
