First stop was to the home of Alicia, her teenage son Ahmarik and two darling little daughters, Dani and Maya. Alicia is truly an inspiration. This family is new to California having left an unsafe domestic situation in their home state of Louisiana. They are working hard to settle into the new community. Alicia has her AA degree and is determined to finish college and become a civil engineer once her California residency is established. When we arrived at their apartment, the family had just a few temporary items that were on loan.
When we arrived, the family left and our volunteers got to work making their home beautiful and comfortable. There were smiles all around when the family returned home.
The smiles say it all … you have forever changed the lives of these families and given them warm and comfortable homes where they can forge bright futures.
Many thanks to all those in our community who have helped make such a difference including our wonderful business sponsors for their in-kind donations: Chipman Relocation & Logistics, Birch Circle Movers, City Carpets, and Studio 64 Marin Artists’ Co-op.
With gratitude,
Grateful Gatherings Marin
