Neighbors Helping Neighbors- Keys Recovery






















     
"Thanks for sharing the opportunity to volunteer with the Baptist Health Community outreach... It  was a Joy for me to be able to travel down to Big Pine with a great group of people instead of just going on my own... Funny Story-the bus broke down at the end of the 7-mile bridge but we still did not miss a beat... Fortunately for us, there were individuals traveling behind the bus that were also destined to the vineyard community center in Big Pine to volunteer.  We ended up piling into their vehicles and hitched a ride for the rest of a way... Coincidence? I don't think so.  It just set the tone for the spirit of the day.  It was challenging and the same time,  a most rewarding experience... I was humbled by how strangers came together as one in selfless acts of compassion. That's the paradox of all of these tragedies. I have met dozens but there have been thousands of people (unsung heroes) that have traveled from all over the country to support the Keys recovery efforts... Kudos to Maria Luisa Gonzalez, Rene, Margaret,  and all the volunteers from  Baptist Health South Florida that came down. They made a difference! Here are some pictures that captured the day..."
