Mother Teresa said, “If you can’t help a hundred, then just help one.”
With the threat of severe winter storms closing in, nothing could be worse than not having a home; possibly sleeping in your car, piled with blankets, trying to keep warm. But Brownie Troop 2370 members, Maddy and Rebecca are going to change all of that for one homeless child. They prepared a room to welcome a child that will be moving in to a new Vision House apartment scheduled for completion January 15th, 2009. Friends, family and other troop members donated cash, furniture and bedding while the girls provided the elbow grease. “Their hard work has created a beautiful space where a formerly homeless child will feel safe and secure, probably for the first time in a long time,” commented Susan Camerer, Vision House Executive Director. Camerer also stated, “I think they showed incredible leadership, getting so many community members involved in the project. Their families should feel very proud.” To read more stories from our residents, please go to http://www.vision-house.org/vh_residents.htm
