A Story of Spirit

"Over ten tears ago, my son and I were blessed by your organization with housing and other gifts at the Blaine home.  I wanted to first off thank Laurel Miller for the wonderful blessing and support she was to me during that time.  I received so much encouragement from her not only during my stay there but afterwards too.

...I was wondering if there was any way our family could help a family there to have a wonderful Christmas the way others did for me and my son many years ago.....I will never forget the amazing Christmas someone gave to me and my son the year we were there and I would love to do that for another family.

...thank you for continuing to have a heart for the homeless, especially those with children."
