“Waxaan u maleynayaa in kala duwanaanshuhu uu yahay dhadhanka nolosha ee iskaa wax u qabso,” ayuu yiri Bev Wolters. “Runtii waan ku raaxaystaa inaan waxyaabo badan oo kala duwan la sameeyo dad kala duwan iyo meelo kala duwan.”

Bev waxay khadka internetka ka heshay liis fursado iskaa wax u qabso ah oo ay la leedahay Rise bishii Oktoobar 2016 waxayna la kulantay Isuduwaha Iskaa wax u qabso Zoe Leonard-Monrad si ay u aragto waxa ugu habboon danaheeda. Asal ahaan, waxay u malaynaysay inay waqtigeeda ku tabaruci doonto ka caawinta Stacy Gross oo ah Daaweeyaha Farshaxanka ee Rise barnaamijka Art Speaks, laakiin waxay go’aansatay in kasta oo ay aad ugu qanacday adeegyadeeda, haddana aysan doorbidi doonin inay hal mashruuc oo keliya ka qayb qaadato.

“Bev waa qofka aan aado marka aan haysto mashaariic gaar ah oo hal mar ah ama muddo gaaban ah,” ayay tiri Zoe. “Waxay la timaadaa dhoola cadeyn weyn, diyaarna u ah inay ka shaqeyso wax kasta oo aan u baahannahay. Xubnaha kooxda Rise runtii way qadariyaan xamaasadeeda iyo dabacsanaanteeda, waana ogahay haddii ay la shaqeyso jadwalkeeda, inay wax walba diyaar u tahay!”

Sannadkii la soo dhaafay ama wax la mid ah, Bev wuxuu ka caawiyay inuu ka qayb galo xaflado badan oo lagu qabto Rise iyo xafladaha fasaxa (sida qadada gaarka ah ee halkan ka jirta goobta Rise’s Coon Rapids), wuxuu u janjeeray inuu iibiyo dubista, sameeyo mashaariic xafiis, wuxuu iibiyay tigidhada ciyaaraha ee Celebrate Rise Fundraising Gala, xitaa wuxuu ka caawiyay inuu ku soo bandhigo bandhig Art Speaks ah hoolka magaalada Blaine iyadoo la socota Stacy.

Heidi Palmer, oo ah madaxa maamulka fulinta ee Rise, ayaa xustay in Bev ay si weyn u caawisay iyada iyo kooxda taageerada maamulka. “Aad bay u fiican tahay in la awoodo in mashruuc wadaadnimo ah loo wareejiyo Bev marka aan u baahanno gacmo kale. Had iyo jeer waan ka mahadcelineynaa rabitaankeeda ah inay soo gasho oo ay caawiso.”

Rabitaanka Bev ee ah inuu iskaa wax u qabso ku sameeyo doorarkan kala duwan wuxuu ka caawiyaa inuu xoreeyo saacado badan oo waqti shaqaale ah si ay diiradda u saaraan mudnaanta istaraatiijiyadeed ee Rise.

Bev ayaa hawlgab noqday dhowr sano ka hor ka dib markii uu ka shaqeeyay goobaha ganacsiga iyo maareynta hantida, wuxuuna si mutadawacnimo ah ula shaqeeyay dhowr urur oo kale. “Waxaan raadinayay wax ka duwan, waana hubaa inaan halkan ka helay,” ayay raacisay.

Markii la weydiiyay waxa ugu fiican ee ay ka jeceshahay waqtigii ay ku jirtay shaqada iskaa wax u qabso ee Rise, Bev waxay tiri, “Aad baan u jeclahay isdhexgalka aan la yeesho dadka — runtii waan taabanayaa qalbiyadooda iyo naftooda. Marka aan baxo, waxaan dareemayaa inaan wax qabtay.”
