Con cada minuto que pasaba, su inter\u00e9s y entusiasmo aumentaban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-e4l9n\">\u201cOh, d\u00e9jame intentarlo\u201d, pens\u00f3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-bsvs\">Pronto, ya estaba en las oficinas de LifeStyles, donde se reuni\u00f3 con Tammy Gausman, coordinadora de voluntarios. Sin darse cuenta, ya estaba preparando kits de aseo personal \u2014colecciones de art\u00edculos de higiene esenciales\u2014 para personas sin hogar y otras personas necesitadas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/static.wixstatic.com\/media\/b3875f_bc71847bda854204b5fa46a8c9d39a8c~mv2.jpg\/v1\/fill\/w_360%2Ch_479%2Cal_c%2Cq_90%2Cusm_0.66_1.00_0.01\/b3875f_bc71847bda854204b5fa46a8c9d39a8c~mv2.webp?w=1080&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-pdke\">Karen pronto descubri\u00f3 que el voluntariado era adictivo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-avs71\">Empez\u00f3 a ser voluntaria un d\u00eda a la semana. Luego se convirti\u00f3 en dos. Ahora Karen trabaja cuatro horas al d\u00eda, cuatro d\u00edas a la semana, aunque el viaje de ida desde su casa en Clinton hasta las oficinas de LifeStyles en La Plata es de 35 kil\u00f3metros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-f7onh\">Durante los \u00faltimos dos a\u00f1os, se ha convertido en un miembro vital y confiable del equipo de LifeStyles, abriendo su coraz\u00f3n para brindar ayuda, esperanza y transformaci\u00f3n en nuestra comunidad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-9q4g5\">\u201cNo hay trabajo demasiado grande ni demasiado peque\u00f1o\u201d, dijo Sandy Washington. \u201cKaren ha hecho de todo, desde hacer la compra y preparar las bolsas hasta pintar y asegurar que nuestras oficinas est\u00e9n presentables para los clientes. Nunca hay que ped\u00edrselo. Ella lo ve y lo hace\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-8t29p\">Es cierto que a menudo se ve a Karen caminando por las oficinas con un destornillador listo, por si acaso hay que apretar alg\u00fan tornillo suelto en alg\u00fan mueble o equipo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-9jm4i\">\u201cPuedes llamarme Jack\u201d, dijo ella, y ella realmente es una persona que sabe hacer de todo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-5e0t6\">Una vez, en una gasolinera local, se encontr\u00f3 con una persona que ped\u00eda limosna. En lugar de gastar un d\u00f3lar y seguir con su d\u00eda, se tom\u00f3 un momento para hablarles de LifeStyles y los recursos disponibles. Fue a\u00fan mejor cuando lleg\u00f3 a la oficina de LifeStyles unos d\u00edas despu\u00e9s y vio a esa persona junto a la puerta, dando el primer paso para cambiar su vida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-936iu\">Al ofrecer su tiempo como voluntaria para servir a los dem\u00e1s, Karen sabe que tambi\u00e9n recibe una recompensa. Desde el sentido de trabajo en equipo entre el personal y los voluntarios hasta la sincera gratitud que tan a menudo expresan sus clientes, Karen sabe que su tiempo est\u00e1 bien invertido.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-8jr81\">\u201cCuando tenemos eventos de distribuci\u00f3n, la gente que viene a recoger la comida de los camiones o la leche, simplemente dice &#039;Salud&#039; y &#039;Gracias&#039;\u2018, dijo Karen. \u2019Solo esas palabras. No me gustan los regalos ni los obsequios. No me gusta salir en televisi\u00f3n. Simplemente me gusta o\u00edr los agradecimientos\u2018.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-cvhsb\">Si alguien est\u00e1 buscando un lugar para ser voluntario o contribuir a la comunidad, Karen no duda en recomendar que venga a conocer al equipo de LifeStyles y lo pruebe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-bfsoa\">\u201cHay tantas oportunidades diversas en las que participar\u201d, dijo. \u201cSe siente bien contribuir. Me cae muy bien la gente.

Most years, LifeStyles deployed teams of volunteers from 12pm until midnight, canvassing the county and visiting known homeless encampments or anywhere else they can go to get the most accurate count of unsheltered individuals.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"viewer-e5hm7\">As it has for most everything else, the pandemic changed things this year.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"viewer-br0jf\">\u201cThe goal is to count the number of people who are living on our streets, but our goal is to also make sure that we serve them at the same time,\u201d Young said. \u201cThis year it's different because of COVID, so we have had to limit how many people can do outreach. Normally we have more than 100 volunteers helping with either street outreach or gathering supplies. So it\u2019s more limited this year, but we actually have a week to do the survey.\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"viewer-5bchd\"><strong>On the first day of the count, the LifeStyles team had completed dozens of survey forms identifying homeless individuals at stops across Waldorf, La Plata and Bryans Road.

So we'd like to say that the majority of the reason why we have a lower count is that many of them have been offered shelter or housing.\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"viewer-2avqn\"><strong>ACCEPTING A HAND UP<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"viewer-8ja47\">Within minutes of arriving, the couple in the SUV also met Rene Curry, an Intake Supervisor with the Charles County Department of Social Services.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"viewer-flk4b\">\u201cWe asked them vital questions about how they arrived at their situation and whether there is someone we can contact to let them come and stay with them,\u201d Curry said. \u201cIt\u2019s called a homeless intake, and it\u2019s what we do every day. When it gets really cold or we have inclement weather, you have more people willing to go into shelter care. This time is our busiest time of year.\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"viewer-8k1k7\">She was able to help them complete paperwork to make them eligible for a range of services and housing options. Once they have COVID tests, they will become eligible for shelter through Safe Nights or one of the other local options available.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"viewer-dpcjb\"><strong>As the couple completed the intake process, the LifeStyles team prepared bags with four hot meals from the Southern Maryland Food Bank, as well as nonperishable milk, cereal, hand warmers, hand sanitizer, toilet paper, hygiene items and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"viewer-7nf2b\">Whatever comes next for this young couple and their children, they\u2019ve taken an important first step toward finding safe shelter.
