Even as I struggled to remain positive in the midst of uncertainty, the Y teachers would check in to see how the girls were feeling, to warn me when one of them had a rough day, or just to encourage me when they had a wonderful one. The last few years have been challenging in ways I never could have anticipated. I have watched my children live with the uncertainty that comes along with divorce. They cling to the familiar, and I am so glad the Y is here for all of us. No matter what we are going through, I know the Y stays the same. When we are having a bad day we pack up and go to the Y to play. When the girls need help with their homework they get tutoring. When I have to work late, I know they are getting a healthy snack after school that will tide them over until we can have dinner. Our lives have changed so much, but the faces at the Y haven’t changed a bit. I see young moms who look just like I did back in Oklahoma. I see grandmas and grandpas who have baked my family Christmas goodies when I couldn’t find the time. And I see a community of people that will be there no matter what our future holds.” — Anonymous, Ozarks Regional Y Mom ADDRESS: 417 S.
