“A day I would like to relive is the day that I

“A day I would like to relive is the day that I graduated from my GED program. I didn’t get my high school diploma. I had dropped out of high school for reasons beyond my control. I ended up in a not-so-good marriage and I knew that I wanted to do better. I was working at Hardees for almost 7 years and I knew that I wanted to provide more for my kids. Even though I was married, it was really like I was a single mom; it was always me and my 3 little musketeers. I knew if I wanted a better job, I had to be able to have my high school diploma or my GED. Every year on Live 5 News, I would watch the students walk the stage to receive their diploma and I would get really emotional. I would say, ‘why them, why not me?’ Finally I thought, ‘you gotta do this, Mariel, you gotta do this for your kids’. So I started attending GED classes and went part-time at my job… At that point I had been working full-time for AT&T and they did not require me to have the GED. But I switched from full-time to part-time and then I went to class while my kids were at daycare. Well, then my vehicle’s engine blew, so I had to get a new vehicle, which meant I had to have a car payment. I had to go back to work full-time and it made getting my GED go from 3 months to 8 months. I thought I was going to have to quit GED classes, but what I ended up doing was I worked full-time and then I went to night classes at Howe Hall Elementary twice a week. I would leave my full-time job, pick my kids up from daycare, and then 2 nights of the week while I did my night classes, my kids went to their own class at Howe Hall learning English speaking in Spanish. I ended up earning the GED and we did the whole graduation and I was the valedictorian! I am super proud of myself. There shouldn’t be any reason for someone to say they can’t do it. I ended up leaving AT&T to come work for this organization… and guess what? Here, I needed a GED — but I had just earned it. And I’ve been here almost 20 years!” PS Congratulations to Mariel for her recent engagement! Mariel Nichols – Retail Branch Manager | Rivers Branch #HumansOfREV

“The birth of my first daughter and my first gra

“The birth of my first daughter and my first grandchild taught me to appreciate little things and small moments in life that we seem to overlook. The older I get, the more precious I see that my time was, and you can’t get it back. So make the most of every moment… I appreciate it a lot more now than when my kids were little. I worked two and three jobs as a single parent just to make it. So I appreciate all the little slow down times. The one thing that I look forward to is watching my grandkids prosper. I am so proud of them. I want to be here long enough to watch them grow. That’s my bucket list: it’s to watch my family, you know, succeed in life. I’m so proud of them; I’ve got one doing track, one doing wrestling, one’s in gymnastics. They go with me to do food donations, they have worked at the food bank at church before. This granddaughter of mine, I’m raising my 5 year old granddaughter. This 5 year old - she’s going to move the world.” Leslie Roper - Receptionist | Headquarters #HumansOfREV

Last week, we had the incredible opportunity to #UpTheGood with @operation_home —building a ramp for a Dorchester County community member so she can safely enter and exit her home with confidence. It’s more than just lumber and nails. It’s peace of mind, independence, and a safer space to call home. We’re proud to support organizations like Operation Home that help make a lasting difference right here in our community. Together, we’re creating impact one project at a time.

“If I could relive one day, it’s not a certain

“If I could relive one day, it’s not a certain day, but there’s probably 2 days. One: my oldest son went into the military and the last time that I spoke to him we had a very lengthy conversation. And that was the last time that I spoke to him because he didn’t come back home alive. 21 years old. So, that conversation was important. He was over there and he called when we were able to get a hold of each other. I was taking a lunch - that was when I had the furniture store - I went out back and sat in my vehicle and we talked for an hour or so… which was kind of unusual because you don’t normally get to talk that long. But it was just a matter of days later that an IED took out the tank that he was in - he was in Iraq. It would be nice to be able to go back and have more of a conversation with him. The other day I would relive would be one where I get to have a conversation with my dad. He suffered with Alzheimer’s for 15 years, which is a long time. And he was always a strong figure: slow to speak, chose his words carefully, and therefore if he said something, it was important. He had a lot of wisdom. So just to be able to have the opportunity to sit down and visit and talk with him would be amazing. Those are the 2 days that would be nice to be able to do again… it makes you really realize what’s important. We get caught up in a lot of things - all of us do - but what is really important? It’s who you are and the people around you, and how you show yourself to them and others.” Vincent Gibbs - Sr. Member Advisor | Park West #HumansOfREV

“I was in my 30’s - I will never forget it. Yo

“I was in my 30’s - I will never forget it. You know how sometimes you have people begging for money. One particular day I went to a Chinese restaurant and saw this young lady; she looked to be around 50. I was walking out and she said, ‘could you please buy me a meal. I have no money. I’m really hungry, I just want something to eat.’ I said ‘no’. I just said ‘no, I can’t help you,’ and I got in my car. While driving away, I’m like - that lady seems sincere. It was something different about that particular woman. She didn’t ask for money. She asked me to go in with her and purchase her a meal. So, I turned around, because it hit me: you know, this could be you one day. This could be your loved one. Who do you think you are? You have a pocket full of money, but you told this lady ‘no’ for no reason. So I turned around and I called her back. I said, ‘ma’am, come on. I’m going to buy you a meal.’ I said, ‘you get whatever you want.’ She got chicken and rice. She said, ‘that’s all I want. I haven’t eaten in two days.’ The lady started crying. She sat down and said, ‘would you sit with me?’ ‘Oh,’ I said. ‘Sure, I will sit with you.’ I sat with her, but she didn’t talk much. She just kept thanking me for doing that. That changed my perspective on things. You have to be kind. You have to show empathy. You have to treat people the way you want to be treated. And initially, I didn’t. But she got to me. That humbled me.” Emma Washington – Senior Asset Recovery Specialist #HumansOfREV
