Courage is a Decision.
You may not know you made the difference, but you did. For so many young people, their light goes unnoticed – hidden by their outward expressions of confusion, frustration and fear. As youth care workers, you care. You see the light that is so often hidden, that simple glimpse. You acknowledge who they are and all they can be. This is the difference between a life fulfilled or a life fallen short. -Stacy Gromatski
On Behalf of the Florida Network Staff and Board of Directors, let it be known that our respect for those here named, is only surpassed by our gratitude.
With this tribute we honor- the Greatest Shift.
