A Birthday that Almost Wasn’t

Birthdays are meant to be celebrated. Thanks to OCA Life Coach Sherry Wood, one young woman was able to feel truly seen and loved on her 17th birthday.

When plans at her residential fell through, Sherry stepped in to make sure her day didn’t go unnoticed. Sherry arranged a surprise dinner at Roosters. She invited a close friend, and gave her a comforting gift—a soft, huggable kitty to bring peace and encouragement. The story could have read very different.

Now It’s a Birthday to Remember

Instead of a lonely day, this young lady now has a memory filled with love, laughter, and community. It’s a picture of the kind of hope-filled chapters OCA Life Coaches help write for vulnerable youth.
