Isolation and lack of social interaction are a few of the issues facing our children during the pandemic. Parents have become teachers, and the stress children are under has affected their emotional well-being. KFF polls stated that 67% of parents are worried about their children’s’ social and emotional health after school closures (kff.org). As a family success center, our staff and ED had many meetings to brainstorm ideas to break the some of the isolation our children are experiencing. After a series of ice cream socials outside our office, a brilliant idea came to mind, “ A Hot Chocolate Social.” Thirty children with their families came out! Kids decorated their mugs, and enjoyed a cup of hot chocolate. The highlight of this event was the happiness on the faces of the kids! Even with their masks on, you could see their excitement to be out, many of them with their siblings. The success of this story is our children. One of those children has been separated from his mother who was deported back to Mexico. His aunt, who was the person who brought him to the event, said to us, “Thanks for doing this, now, when he needs the distraction, we are grateful for you all.” That young boy knows that New Destiny is a place for release from isolation and fun. For him, he can receive hope that things will get better, and that one day he will be reunited with his mother. For us, hope that we positively impact our community to ensure our families, children, and community have a place they can call home.
