Happy 9th Birthday Help Me Grow Utah!

OH, THE PLACES YOU’LL GO!

You’ll be on your way up!

You’ll be seeing great sights!

You’ll join the high fliers

who soar to high heights.

One more year has come and passed.

It seems like time is going by so fast.

A birthday is not measured with just stops and starts,

But of growth and change in your mind and heart.

 

Oh the places we’ve seen Help Me Grow go! What once started as a simple dream to support parents has become a reality. We love the families we serve. We started with helping 1 family in 2010. Today we have reached higher sights and have served almost 13,000 children from 9,400 Utah families!

 

We couldn’t have done it without our fearless leader! Barbara Leavitt’s vision and endlessly hard work has carried us to higher heights.

 

 

Thank you to all the amazing people currently serving with Help Me Grow. Each one of us has different strengths that pushes Help Me Grow Utah to greater sights.

 

 

We couldn’t do it without our funders who believe in us–their generosity allows us to reach more families in Utah to help their children be off to a stronger start in life. Thank you for believing in the vision of supporting families in our communities.

 

And let’s not forget about all the people who have influenced Help Me Grow Utah, whether those who have consulted with us, worked for us, or served as interns with us. Many of these amazing people have moved on to new pursuits to spread their influence with their families and communities.

My own life has been greatly influenced by serving at Help Me Grow Utah. I am amazed at how much I have learned from those I work with, those who trained us, and the incredible families I have talked with. I often find answers in helping my own family and friends through what I have learned from all of you great people.

Happy birthday to Help Me Grow Utah!! I’m looking forward to many more awesome birthdays to come!!
