Delivery for Novembers Client

20 Donators sharing a couch, LR tables, a desk, 2 bunk beds, a full bed, 3 dressers, linens, pots and pans, dishes, comforters, and towels...along with 5 VLC Volunteers, 2 AHS students, and 4 Human Services Caseworkers. This delivery was like the TV make-over show! A hardworking family. A 13 year old daughter (a straight A student) and her 6 year old sister will no longer be sleeping on a mattress on the floor. They now have a bunk bed, dresser, mirror, sheets, matching comfortors, lamps, and a string of lights each with a flower strung on her mirror! Her words: "the most beautiful bedroom she has ever seen!" I peaked into the room where bunk beds were being put together for the 2 boys...they couldn't believe it...a stranger bought a brand new bunk bed to share with them! They said 'it even smells good'...the new wood!' And mom, she could not remember the last time she slept on a mattress off of the floor! You are changing peoples lives... having pride in themselves and their homes. Thank you!
