HBS’s Terry Heads to Haiti
Meet Terry, on the right. She is the person on the Hayden Brook Team whom most of our shoppers never get to meet. She isn’t usually present at any but the Home Show. AHhhh Terry! She makes my life run smoothly. She has been with us for years. She knows all the lines, and makes some of everything that we do. Plus, we have our very own special language that only we can read and write! HBS code. She is the only one we can talk to about exciting new glass patterns and colors. She understands my excitement when we have ordered a new kind of glass, but have to wait 3 weeks for it to get here. GAH!
When Terry was considering sub-contracting with us, she made it clear that she would need the freedom to go on her annual missions trip to Haiti, which usually heads out in early March. We agreed without hesitation. Terry’s priorities become our priorities. We adore her!
Terry is getting ready to head back to Haiti this coming Saturday. This trip is more urgent than usual. The earthquake hit exactly where she stays. A lot has changed since last year. The missions team from our church, which always includes Terry, has always stayed with the other woman in this photo. She would make sure they would eat well and be kept safe while they would sleep each night, tucked in tight. This lovely saint is named Setata. She is now numbered among the saints who are permanently dwelling in Heaven. During the earthquake, Setata’s Safe House collapsed on her. She did not survive. Terry will be heading down to the same neighborhood as usual… but the church and many of the key leaders are no longer standing.
Bless you Terry! And… come home safe & well! We need you here at HBS!
You are waaaaaay too kind! Made me want to be my own friend :; }
