As the saying goes, “It takes a village to raise a child.” And one neighborhood in our community truly understands the importance of coming together to support each other.
Last summer, a couple with their family moved into our neighborhood. They had a daughter named Lily, who was born with a physical disability that made it difficult for her to walk. However, she was always seen with a smile on her face. She would like to make friends with others and be a part of the community.
When Lily played outside with her new neighbors, she faced a challenge. Because of her disability, she couldn’t take part in some of the activities the other kids were taking part in. And it was hard for them to understand her needs. This made Lily feel a little upset and left out.
But instead of giving up, the community decided to come together and find a way to get Lily involved in their activities. The process was not always easy. It took one year’s effort for the community to get used to the needs of their new friend. As time went by, Lily became more confident and she felt like she truly belonged.
Lily’s parents were excited to see the changes in their daughter. They were thankful to live in a community that made sure every child felt valued. Lily’s family had expressed their thanks for the positive influence Lily had to the community. She brought them closer together, developing a unity (团结) and compassion (同情心) they had never experienced before.
People of our community had not only raised a child but had also grown together, it becoming a shining example of hugging differences in our community.
