Gswpa leader vanessa

11/19/13 meeting pictures :)

Pay it forward. Help others.

As my troop girls help others. Their country and our planet... As a troop leader I vow to do the same....

so last night it was 3 am... the house was sound asleep, i woke to a banging on my door, i thought i was dreaming. I then heard screaming "help me, i need help, i need to call my dad. please let me call my dad, someone help me please" i open my door to find a small young red head covered in mud, dirt and blood.

She had tattoos and piercings, she had just finished college, got a new car and a new job. she had her employers Christmas party last night, she had lost her phone and didn't have a way of calling anyone, she was distraught and confused, she was crying and felt embarrassed for coming to my door.

i let her inside and sat her near my computer, she told me her story. she was driving home, she was mad she lost her phone, she was overly tired, she didn't want to go to the Christmas party but her friends begged her. she was exhausted and just wanted to go home.

As she drove on perry hwy, she went around the bend right infront of my home, she had a foggy window, went to turn the radio station and the last thing she had remembered was spinning out of control, her air bag deployed and smashed her in the face, giving her a bloody nose. she had driving down into a ditch across the street... my house was the only one with outside lights on so she came for help.

We tried calling her parents multiple times with no prevail, i tried looking for my AAA card so i could get her a ride home and a free tow to the next township over where she resides. But, couldnt find my card. so we called the summit township center which then connected us to mill creek for a trooper...

a trooper finally showed with his partner an hour later, as we waited she kept replaying her story in her mind, cryig afraid she was going to wake my babies.

her image is still stuck in my mind, i felt really bad for her...

troopers finally showed and decided they would take her home to her parents. then they called triple A themselves for her car to be towed to the nearest shop in Waterford

i got a call from her parents last night around 430 am... i asked if it was the youngs resident, the man reply'd yes. i told him his daughter was safe but was in a horrifying accident and that she had crawled to my door in the middle of the night, i told him she was on her way home and the car was being towed to waterford. he was very thankful, scared and yet surprised someone heped her.

 

this morning they finally texted me, sayiing she was doing well, still shaken up but well. and that her car was towed just a few streets from them. they asked if they could do anything for me in return

i said, no need to. it was my pleasure and to just..... pay it forward.

 
So next time you see someone in need of help. HELP do an unselfish deed. You never know how great one act of kindness can do for a lot of people.

We had a wonderful meeting today

Today we had a new girl register :) her name is bella. We have twin girls registering with us today or ASAP.
The girls were great today, they came in and started coloring , and then we had snack and did the adams family prayer before eating. The girls had their snack and we all made turkeys out of pinecones, googley eyes, foam paper hands and some other fun items, the little turkeys came out so cute. My phone died during the meeting so lindsay will be sending me photos from today! the girls finally got their folders, they earn stickers for returning them every meeting! they earned their third patch today!!!

they made collages and we had some great fun, we did the national anthem and the girlscout law and also ended with the friendship circle and the friendship song

" make new friends but keep the old one is silver and the other gold.a circle is round it has no end thats how long i want to be your friend"
