Never Give Up!

by Melissa Ursu, North Boroughs Services Coordinator

Everyone has a story. Some bounce back better than ever. But sometimes people need more help to get through a tough time. During my tough times, I saw how much working with someone in a nonprofit could give me the tools to focus on one of my mantras - Never Give Up!

It’s easy to want to throw in the towel, to just let things go from bad to worse. I try to ensure my clients know that it’s not always one extreme or the other. There’s always a way. It may not be exactly what they imagined, and it might take some work, but challenging times are very often temporary.

The folks at NHCO are prime examples of the support team people in need, well, need. As a service coordinator, my focus is putting that bandage on the bad times and helping them heal into better times. I was able to emerge from my difficult times with fewer scars thanks to the people I reached out to.

I strive to make sure my clients get the same opportunity.
