Some Highlights
September 4th 2012.
The day before Pastor Eric Shadle completed his 37000 ride across America, he rode through Shenandoah County.
To Sheriff Carter and his deputies for escorting the ride and riding the ride!
To all our Riders and Cheerers!
To The Edinburg Mill for welcoming us.
To the Free Press and The Northern Virginia Daily for covering the event.
The Ride raised $750 and two large boxes of diapers for A SMALL HAND
for which we are very grateful.
The Day was Priceless!
Makes a Big Difference
In rural Shenandoah County, Virginia, there are few large corporations or wealthy individuals that A Small Hand can approach for support. But there is no end of need. “So far, our donations, whether it’s money or goods, have just kept ahead of demand,” said Executive Director Ann McBroom. She founded A Small Hand three years ago on the model of Infant Crisis Services, which she learned about while visiting her daughter in Oklahoma City. A Small Hand provides diapers, formula, food and gently used clothes for babies in low-income families.
It is one of the few social service agencies in its area, so Ann cannot refer families to another agency when her supplies are low. Just getting to A Small Hand can be a large feat for some families. It could be a 30-mile drive for parents who live on the other side of the county. A typical family comes in twice a month, but A Small Hand serves some weekly.
The families face enormous struggles with grace, Ann says. There are about 15 families with a disabled parent or child. “We have some stellar grandparents who have taken in children even though they don’t have the financial resources to do it,” she says. Uncles and neighbors in poverty themselves have nevertheless stepped up to care for children whose parents are not able.
Ann knows that diapers can be a path to independence for families, as they make it possible to access childcare so that adults can work or go to school. But she also is gratified by a much more basic benefit of her work: “They just absolutely know what their kids need and delight in having it available.”
Sometimes Ann dreams of a large donor who will give A Small Hand financial security. But she knows that dream is unlikely to become a reality. “We’re living hand-to-mouth,” she says. “We’re just doing what our families are doing.” s get diapers and invaluable technical assistance to diaper banks across the country.
