In August, several of Liberty's consumers and volunteers went to an adult camp, sponsored by the Variety Club. Most people were between the ages of 30 and 55 years old. One of this year's campers passed away unexpectedly. He was 47 years old. Liberty Resources' volunteer, Ben Ditzler, used his many years of peer counseling experience to help another camper work through this trauma.
Death is a very hard issue to handle and being away from home and family makes it harder.
The camper needed a buddy to talk to. Ben took his own time to help this camper adjust to the shock of what happened. He did so just by listening, spending quiet time, being kind, and lending a hand to this camper in need. Not all people use these skills in life every day to help others. Thank you, Ben.
