Get off the sidelines and make the assist.

An assist may not earn the loudest applause, but it can create the opportunity someone needs. For a family facing breast cancer, that assist might be a grocery delivery, a paid utility bill, or someone picking up the children after school. And when an appointment falls through or a support request is denied, help with the rebound. With their permission, make another call. Find another resource. Stay beside them through the next step. You do not need to be the star player to make a difference. Be the teammate whose presence means someone does not have to carry everything alone.
