August's Client of the Month



After losing her job, and then her apartment, Amy, her son (7) and her daughter (8) lived in a shelter for a few months. she is now back on her feet with a new job and a new apartment. they moved in the day before VLC delievered. It was an easy move, they had very little. They all slept that night in mom's bed, as it was the only one in the apartment, and they were unable to cook, because they had no cookware. The outpouring of donations for this client were amazing. It was Christmas on our porch 3 days in a row! On delivery day the couch, loveseat, table and lamp were set up in the living room. The kitchen cupboards were filled with dishes, silverware, pots and pans, utensils, kitchen towels and mitts you shared. A dresser in mom's room and bath towels in the linen closet. A beautiful metal lofted bed for Sienna, and another matching (but shared by another donator!) for the son that we tucked beneath, as the room was very small. We still had room for dresser and shelving that was shared, and made up the beds with new linens. Amy could not believe your generousity and she thanks you all. Her comment to her children....volunteers did this. They made our apartment a home!!
