My name is Rebecca. My family has been into the arts for as long as I can remember. My dad is an art teacher, most of my siblings are musically gifted, and all of the kids in the Moore family find their home on the stage. But, did it ever cross my mind that I could use my talent not only for God’s glory, but in a way that can help out other people? Nope. But now, that’s the only way I see it.
It’s amazing that becoming friends with a child with a disability can make you see life differently. My very first buddy, Kaitlin, made such an impact in my life that I can’t see her as anything other than a beautiful, energetic, talkative 4 year old girl. All of my buddies have found their way into my heart and I shall remember them forever.
Playing for Others has had a big impact on my life since day one, in Freedom Park, when Jen told us that she had an idea. It has changed the way I view and accept other people; it has made me more comfortable with telling people that I don’t know about something that means a lot to me; it has shown me that when something needs to be done, I need to do it and not wait for someone else. PFO has taught me, and so many of my new best friends, lessons that we will carry on with us forever. It has shaped my plans for my future and it will never leave me. Not if I have a say in it.
