Shelter to Home

We're happy to share this heartwarming message from a recent client. This is good work that you are all helping us to do. "To all my friends who shared their emotional, financial or physical support, I love and appreciate all of you for one of the most beautiful gifts I could have ever asked for, my own apt. My heart is just now beginning to feel the happiness and joy, settling in and unpacking boxes, ha ha, I never dreamed I would be excited to receive a broom and dust pan,... or a dish rack, I have to tell you all that days ago, prior to moving in, I was being asked if I was happy with getting my new place, and I was not, I actually felt nervous, and to that I was asked why? After some introspection, I realized that sometimes, we, myself and others that live very close to the streets, we loose [sic] that beautiful ability to feel excitement and happiness because of the never ending variables and disappointments we are faced with! To be able to truly feel human again, with a Happy heart and a positive soul, this is the true gift all of you have blessed me with. I am honoured to have so many solid loving people in my life like you, that you so very much for letting me be alive again, God bless you all." See more
