TGAS Launches new chapter in Minneapolis, MN
The Sedars family was staying at the RMH Dallas, as their daughter, Norah, was recovering from a surgery. TGAS hosted a Give Love Valentine’s Day themed outreach that Norah was able to participate in. Towards the end of the activity, Norah walked up to all the TGAS volunteers and handed them a Valentine’s day card that she had made. Each of the volunteers showed their appreciation and were engaged, present and made her feel like she was the only one in the room. Deb would later share how that evening touched their daughters’ heart.
Norah has recovered from her surgeries and is doing well.
Towards the end of 2019, Deb & Dusty reached out and expressed interest in starting a new chapter for TGAS in Minneapolis where they live, as they know firsthand the impact the organization makes on families. Our first outreach was held in July of 2020, and they will be ramping up to a full running chapter over the next year.
We’re excited our paths crossed and are looking forward to seeing the impact they will make in their local community!
Deb & Dusty Sedars – New TGAS Chapter Leaders in Minneapolis, MN
“ As a mother, it is a shot in the heart to hear and see your daughter struggle with the way they see themselves. To know that there is nothing you can do to take the pain they are experiencing away. As parents, we fight so hard for a smile. But look at this picture. That is the impact you make! You warm a mama’s heart seeing her hurting daughter smile. When you serve a meal, talk with the families, play with kids or even just refill their drinks it helps, it heals, it shows love that may have been the only time they had felt it all day. Everything you all do makes a difference. You help families get through one more day. Thank you for sacrificing your time to show families love.”
