That's truly wonderful to have been blessed to be a part of improving the lives of others. I could sense that you were speaking from experience, but I didn't realise you spoke from this perspective, but it makes perfect sense given that you show good insight into the issues at hand. So many people just can't see a way out though. They honestly do feel rooted where they are and confined to live within the shackles imposed on them. But it is an absolute joy when you do find the people who keep moving even in a figurative sense. I used to volunteer at a day centre for those who had suffered severe life altering brain injuries and it always amazed me how enthusiastic the day visitors were; how filled with joy they remained even though their lives had been changed immeasurably by circumstance (some had been in MVA's, others had suffered gunshot wounds etc). It was a joy for me to engage with them and spend time with them, helping them each to achieve their own personal creative and social goals each day. Taking them on field trips was particularly uplifting as many of them did not get these opportunities outside of those offered by the centre. The common denominator for those who loved being there was their desire to keep moving and improving💗

Some people have a will to move forward no matter what. Some take some encouragement at times and others, they dig their heels in and refuse to move.
