#fridayfacts #fallbackfriday Did you know that ACFH has a rich historical past? Formerly known as Singleton Funeral Home, Louis Miller, who managed Singleton Funeral Home, also operated the ambulance service. What's fascinating is that they lived right next door and managed all services with just one phone number for the funeral home, ambulance service, and their house. Talk about efficiency and convenience! 🏡☎️ #history #interestingfacts

On a clear day with a beautiful blue sky like today, our country was changed forever on 9-11-01. I remember turning on WINS-AM at 8:45 AM and hearing about the first plane crash into the World Trade Center. And then the second plane went in. Working in Midtown Manhattan at the time it was frightening because we were waiting to see if there would be another attack on the city. My co-workers and I walked up to the 59th Street Bridge and as we crossed the bridge we watched the plumes of smoke from the World Trade Center knowing that our country was no longer safe from attack. In addition to the people who lost their lives that day, many brave first responders in New York and Washington DC and Pennsylvania worked tirelessly that day and for months and even years after the events in order to find people and bring closure for families. These wonderful men and women often became sick and even died due to toxic chemicals that had been released. The United States then sent our Armed Forces overseas to fight in the fight against terrorism, again resulting in lost lives and injuries. One September day 23 years ago has affected so many lives. That is why it is important to remember its impact and consequences today. Say a prayer for all those people hurt by 9-11-01 and also pray that it never happens again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Experience the SARA difference: Elite Home Care with Concierge Service Alzheimer's/Dementia Specialist Pediatric Special Needs Home Care 516-837-3388 www.saracompanions.com #homecareservices #homecareagency

September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation when we recognize the ongoing trauma caused by residential and day schools, and remember those who never returned home, survivors and their families. It is also an opportunity to commit to the process of truth, justice and reconciliation with First Nations, Inuit and Métis across Canada. #EveryChildMatters #NDTR #NDTR2024

The work of advancing trauma-responsive, prevention-oriented, resilience-building, healing-centered, community-led policies and practices recognizes that our liberation is inextricably intertwined. By working together, we will address the root causes of our collective trauma and support a society that prioritizes everyone's well-being: https://loom.ly/giEB1yc
