Stories
I felt alone and very frightened. Then I was introduced to your service.
Thank you for everything that you did for my children and me. When we left in the middle of the night I wondered what would become of us. How would I provide for my children, where would we go, who would help us? I felt alone and very frightened. Then I was introduced to your service. You made me feel welcome and let me choose the furniture items that I wanted. This was so overwhelming. Some of the items were nicer than what I had left behind. My children got nice beds and dressers and our living room and kitchen were nicely furnished. I remember that you called me a month or two later to see how I was doing. It was nice to hear from you. Again I heard from you in December and you helped with gifts for the children and groceries. I even got an unexpected gift for myself. This was wonderful. I didn’t know that there were people like you in the world. Please thank everyone who volunteers for you and let them know that they are truly appreciated.
