"Life is all about the ripple effects. We lean on others through difficult times; we seek out resources; we gain strength when we know we are not alone; we feel hope when we know we are heard; we need connections in our communities now more than ever. In fact, as our world seems to be more polarized and fragmented, I draw upon Mr. Roger’s famous quote, 'When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.' In our Westborough community, there are helpers who need our help. Westborough Connects is a community connector, connecting people of opposing views, religions, genders, ages, demographics, and much more to give us all hope… They are the helpers Mr. Rogers so eloquently referred to."
