✨ From participant to volunteer ✨
Some stories come full circle in the most meaningful ways.
Years ago, she came to Willow Tree Occupational Therapy as a client. She spent time outside, built skills, found confidence, and experienced what it feels like to be truly welcomed and supported.
Today, she returns — not as a client, but as a volunteer.
She supports our group coordinator, helps behind the scenes with office tasks (including shredding and organizing), and even took our nature-symbol towels and thoughtfully resized and modified them — creating custom hangers so they can be easily used by the children in our program.
This is what inclusion looks like.
A relationship that grows over time.
A place to belong.
A community where each person contributes in meaningful ways.
We believe in growing competence over time.
We believe in access with thoughtful support.
And we believe that every person has something valuable to offer.
Watching her step into this role has been such a gift. 🤍
