🥧🎉 Pie Time at FOCUS! 🎉🥧
Things got a little messy and a whole lot of fun at our FOCUS Day Program! 😄

We'd call it all a sweet, messy success! 💚

In observance of 9/11, individuals at the Charles Lea Center honored the memory of those we lost and the heroes who emerged from one of our nation’s darkest days by creating heartfelt cards of gratitude for local firefighters.
We were honored to welcome firefighters from the Drayton Fire Department and Converse Fire Department, who joined us as our individuals personally presented their handmade cards. The experience was both meaningful and moving, reminding us of the courage, sacrifice, and compassion shown on September 11, 2001, and of the selfless service first responders continue to provide every day.
As we remember the lives forever changed by 9/11, we also pause to express our deepest gratitude to the men and women who run toward danger to protect and serve others. Your bravery, dedication, and willingness to answer the call inspire us all.
Today and always, we remember. We honor. We thank you. ❤️🤍💙
