Every month, we chat with an individual or family that we have worked with, and they tell us a little bit about their journey. Each month, we ask them, "What advice would you give others that are in a similar situation?" or "What are some words of wisdom you'd like to share?"

“The most important thing in life is not material things but love and the beautiful and good people who hold your hand and help you when you feel helpless.”

“Don’t give up and reach out for help when you need it. Take the help from people who are willing to give it to you because accessing resources can be a lot of work and it is the job of the advocates at Thrive to help people access them so take advantage of it. It is important to take action and not just feel sorry for yourself.”

"Find the time to go in for the 30-minute consult. They are almost every day of the work week at all times of the day. You don’t need to find a sitter, bring the kids! It will be so worth it! "

🌟

“Take advantage of the help, help is out there if you want it and you just have to be willing to take advantage of it”.

🌟

"Don't be scared to ask for help. It is okay to reach out for help, everything will work out the way it’s supposed to."

🌟

“Don’t give up. I didn’t know you could appeal a denial until Thrive explained it to me and I am so grateful to know about that now. It shows you that you should always keep trying.”

“I recommend Thrive to everyone I meet, but I tell people that they have to put in the effort too. The advocates can’t do everything for you. You have to want it also.”
