AUTUMN’S STORY: A HEART OF GOLD
The Providence House team is continually inspired by the kindness and generosity of the community. Recently, they had the pleasure of meeting a remarkable young girl named Autumn Beaudoin. At just seven years old, Autumn demonstrates an extraordinary commitment to helping others, and her story stands as a powerful testament to Providence House’s impact on individuals and families.
Autumn’s connection to Providence House began when her family received support from the organization. Rather than simply benefiting from the services, she felt a strong desire to give back. She quickly formed a bond with the staff, particularly Dr. Christopher Handy, Intake Specialist and Chief of Security, and Ms. Lakeisha Florence, Interim Executive Director. Autumn visited their offices every day, eager to contribute. Her enthusiasm and dedication were truly inspiring.
She expressed her desire to assist homeless families, saying, “I want to help because Providence House helped my family.” She even requested an ID badge and a nameplate on the office door — clear signs of her commitment to her new role. The staff was deeply moved by her selflessness and eagerness to make a difference.
To recognize her efforts, Providence House presented Autumn with an ID badge, a certificate of appreciation, and a few thoughtful gifts. Her joyful reaction was priceless, and the team was thrilled to see her beaming with pride. Autumn’s story serves as a heartfelt reminder that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a significant impact.
Autumn’s compassion and generosity continue to inspire everyone around her. Providence House is grateful to count her as a cherished part of the community. Her story highlights the importance of paying it forward and the powerful influence one person can have on others.
The entire organization extends its heartfelt thanks to Autumn for her kindness and dedication and looks forward to the positive impact she will undoubtedly continue to make in the world.
