“If you can’t fly, then run; if you can’t run, then walk; if you can’t walk, then crawl; but by all means, keep moving forward.”

Spoken by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. nearly 70 years ago, these words remind us that progress doesn’t look the same for everyone — and that what matters most is continuing forward, one step at a time. 💙

We want to honor Dr. King’s legacy by reflecting on the power of perseverance, dignity, and opportunity for all.

In his spirit, we recommit to building communities where everyone is valued, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential. ⭐

We were honored to join community leaders, nonprofits, and elected officials, including Speaker Emanuel "Chris" Welch and his wife, Judge ShawnTe Raines-Welch, at the Proviso Township Mental Health Commission Workshop. This gathering created space to connect, learn from one another, and share ideas that strengthen our communities. ✨

The event highlighted organizations doing meaningful work and celebrated collaboration across sectors. We were especially grateful to connect with Joseph Vasilevski, Executive Director of the Proviso Township Mental Health Commission (PTMHC), and for the continued support of PTMHC in helping make this impact possible.

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to creating stronger and more connected communities! 💙
