I have been a social worker for 33 years and unfortunately I often see the injustice and dysfunction of the systems that try but fail to help people in crisis.

But, sometimes the stars do align when the right people come together and they should be recognized for their good deeds.

Thank you to Rairdon Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram of Bellingham, Plush Pooch, SeaMar Health Center, Love Inc., Christ the King Church, and Kathleen Malner. You make me honored to live in Whatcom County.
