I volunteered the day that the families went to Disneyland. I was inspired to help out that day because these were families who had lost someone to the Iraq war and the holidays must be a difficult time of year for them. I was paired with two young moms, who had met through the organization, and there 3 toddlers and spent 12 hours running around Disneyland. It was really rewarding to just lend an extra hand and be there for them, even though it was a long day. I think this service really helped me give more during the holidays and really be more compassionate towards others during hard times.
