Babysitting at Door of Hope

Door of Hope has been an organization I have grown a much more in depth connection than I ever thought I would. I was introduced to the homeless organization through the National Charity League. At first, it was merely an organization I donated party decorations and other supplies to.

I started getting more involved with Door of Hope by being a social media intern. I worked with Alli Burnison from Door of Hope. She would give me details on posts and recent donations they had received. Then I would create some content on Canva. I really enjoyed the work and loved to incorporate it into my week. The love for Door of Hope grew only bigger.

Today proved that to me even more. I signed up to babysit kids at one of the Door of Hope houses. Marco from Door of Hope introduced me to three lovely kids. Playing games, freeze tag, and biking around the play area, the two hours flew by fast. These kids were passionate and excited about the things Door of Hope gave them. A simple round of Connect4 made them all so happy. And if an amateur Connect4 player, such as myself, can put a smile on Khamari, Benji, and Sophie’s face, I’m sure anyone can.
