A Big Thank You from JustAskBoo and United Way of Miami-Dade County!
From Team JAB 
JABBERS, thank you for making our recent JustAsk campaign another huge success. We brought you the touching story of Katrina Rolle, a young, homeless mother who utilized the United Way Center for Excellence in Early Education to change her life. With help from Center's Early Head Start Home-Based Program, she now continues grow as a new mother and is happy and healthy, no longer homeless and serves as a mentor to other mothers facing similar circumstances.
We JustAsked you to help Katrina and other mothers at the Center by purchasing essential baby supplies. As always, JABBERS came through with overwhelming support. Carla Crossno, our liaison at United Way of Miami-Dade County, writes: "I want to share a photo from a recent gathering of the moms in the Home-Based Program at the Center. They really appreciated all of the home and baby items you donated and as you can see from the photo, had fun posing with their new supplies. I want to give a heartfelt thank you for your support and generosity!"
