"Thank you so much for this cot. Now my 5 year old daugther won't have to sleep on the floor" quote from recent mom helped that was referred from Emmaus House homeless shelter in Haverhill
 The good news is we have outfitted more than 48 complete apartment setups in Sept.
The bad news is, that the warehouse is out of everything. Plus, the weather turned cold and we are completely out of blankets and comforters. We do have coats but the call for warm clothing and blankets is overwhelming. Please check the list to the left and tell your friends.
It is tough each day to keep telling the more than 184 people waiting for beds and we have nothing to give out.
Paige (pic above) is also 5 years old and loves her backpack. The wonderful Visiting Nurses Association has been working hard with her family through so many heart operations. With luck, she will go on the transplant list soon. Keep up that bright spirit Paige.
Correction: Thanks to Hologic in Bedford for Backp ack Attack Thanks to Pauline Anton and the Sales Admin and Customer Data Quality teams for $800 in monetary support and a huge donation of backpacks and supplies.
(see pic right)
Blanket the Valley starts early. We are out of blanket and welcome anything sooner rather than later. Anything clean and warm is very welcomed: comforters, quilts, baby blankets, sleeping bags and throws.
