Sometimes the smallest actions create the biggest breakthroughs.
At Elkus Village, progress often begins with one gentle step forward. Recently, a volunteer noticed a participant who was feeling scared to enter the dentist’s office. Instead of rushing the moment, they met him outside in the park, starting a conversation, practicing brushing with a toothbrush, and building trust first.
That patience made all the difference. Soon after, he was able to walk inside and sit in the dentist’s chair with confidence.
We call that success. 💙
