Last month, our local charity of choice - St. Vincent de Paul - asked if we would be able to donate some furniture to a woman who had previously been homeless, but through the success of their program was moving into her own apartment. Our general manager approved a \"living room and dining room\" grouping to be donated.<\/p>\n

Hello Bonnie,<\/p>\n

Words cannot begin to express our gratitude for your gift of lovely modern furniture to one of our very special clients\/guests. Our guest has recently exited homelessness and is in her very own apartment.<\/p>\n

Please allow me to tell you a little about her. Growing up in foster care, she found herself alone and forming unhealthy partner relationships. She is a single mom whose last partner abandoned the family in her last trimester of pregnancy. She was placed on bed rest. With 2 children and a newborn, lost job; she found herself homeless!<\/p>\n

In spite of one hard knock after another, she is resilient and, with the support of SVdP, has completed a pharmacy technician program and landed her dream job in nuclear medicine; making cancer-fighting radiation drugs! She is smart and excels.<\/p>\n

You helped give her and the kids (3) dignity. They have furniture more lovely than she could have imagined. Please know that we are grateful to you and your company.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
