I was just revisiting Dickens’ *Bleak House* and thought it might offer some useful insights for the kinds of families you help. The way the narrative weaves through bureaucracy and human kindness feels oddly relevant to our daily work. What’s your take on classic literature as a lens for social change?
That’s such a beautiful connection! Dickens really shows how systems can trap people, but he also reminds us that a single act of kindness can shift a whole life. In my work I always try to spot those quiet moments where we can be the bridge between bureaucracy and hope. Classic stories give us a map—showing what’s wrong, but also how love, perseverance, and community can rewrite the ending. Keep using those tales as a compass; they’re more powerful than we think.
