Nina and her 4 children had been living at Hebron House, a homeless shelter for several months. They moved into an apartment July 1st. Initially, the caseworker said she put 2 dressers on her wish list...then he stopped for a visit mid-July...and her living room was empty! He asked why she didn't ask for more...she said she was embarrassed she had so little...and didn't want to ask for too much! VLC delivered a couch, lamps, loveseat, and entertainment center, a cocktail and 2 end tables for the living room. A dining table and 4 chairs, dishes and silverware for the kitchen, 2 dressers, linens, and towels for the bed/bath. Nina was in tears with gratitude, and so were we that night. She sends her thanks & prayers to the kindness of strangers. The 8 donators and 5 deliverers who made this possible! A fresh start, and a new job on Monday....life is good~
