With help from Children’s Law Center, Shirelle transferred her son to a new school that met his needs and helped him thrive. That gave her the ability to quit her night job and look for one during the day – and, luckily for us, she chose to join Children’s Law Center.
Today, as our family outreach worker, Shirelle helps children and families across our community. If a parent is the CEO of their family, Shirelle is their Chief of Staff. She lifts some of the burden off parents’ and caregivers’ shoulders so they can focus on securing the health and education they want for their children.
Board Chair Traevena Byrd reflected on how the support she received as a child in foster care and the support that Shirelle received for her son both had profound impacts on their lives.
Traevena then posed the question to all of us: "How can we make an even bigger impact? How can we get closer to our vision of a city in which all children have a strong foundation of family, health and education?”
My answer to that is: Together. Thank you for being part of our community and for helping us make a bigger impact.
With gratitude,
