Hope brings positive power at Parkway Place
Hope. It’s something you sing about, name your children after and form entire organizations around.
What makes people so saturated with ideas of hope? As Helen Keller said, “Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.”
Hope gives assurance that something good will happen, regardless of what has happened in the past. Hope has the positive power to bring excitement about coming opportunities. It breeds an enthusiastic expectation and carries inherent optimism. Simply put, hope makes life fun.
Residents at Parkway Place, a Buckner senior living community in the heart of Houston’s Energy Corridor, live with this sense of hope every day. The Buckner tagline is “Hope shines here,” and the 138-year-old, faith-based nonprofit has been spreading hope to children, families and seniors since 1879. This hope is evident among residents at Parkway Place today.
If you take a walk around the beautifully landscaped 15-acre community, you’ll find residents carrying themselves with a spring in their step, wearing wide smiles as they greet one another on their ways to and from varied activities throughout the community, such as gardening, chair volleyball and Wii bowling.
Many say hope is contagious, and that couldn’t be truer at Parkway Place. These residents have a sense of purpose in life. Some still work professionally, and many volunteer in the local community. Residents such as Jane Wulf and Aaron Mendoza donate their artistic talents such as quilting and woodworking to local charities.
