SHARLETTE KEY
My name is Sharlette Key, and I am a long-time resident of Crandall, Texas. I am a retired elementary school teacher and an active member of Ridge Pointe Fellowship in Dallas, Texas. It is truly an honor to serve on the board of Bee Happy Day Hab, a ministry I have been involved with for a little over a year. My first encounter with Bee Happy Day Hab was in August 2024, when a need was shared for financial support for a shuttle van. When I visited the facility to learn more about that need, I witnessed something special: individuals joyfully participating in activities, building meaningful connections, and experiencing a genuine sense of belonging. The atmosphere was filled with smiles, laughter, and encouragement, and it was clear that this ministry was meeting a deep and important need. In that moment, I felt a strong sense of calling to be part of the Bee Happy Day Hab family. My husband and I believe God has intentionally led us to support this ministry, and I am grateful for the opportunity to serve in a way that honors Him. I look forward to working alongside the Bee Happy team to help strengthen this community and ensure it continues to provide love, dignity, and joyful engagement to those it serves.
