Susan and “Z” were referred to us from SAVE, a shelter for abused women and children. Susan struggled for years to get away from her abusive husband but when he broke her arm she knew it was time.
When we arrived there was nothing more than a air mattress on the floor that the two of them slept on.
She left everything else behind.
Along with the help of our sponsors, Chipman Relocation and Logistics, the team brought in everything a family could have ever wanted. A sofa bed, living room chair, kitchen essentials.
Susan was speechless whens she saw her new home.
Z’s bedroom was small but we were able to provide a trundle bed, desk and dresser and all the cute accessories any 7 year-old would love!
As we were leaving Susan said, “I’ve worked so hard, saved my money and was finally able to afford this apartment, but you turned this apartment into a home. I am so grateful.”
“I’ve worked so hard, saved my money and was finally able to afford this apartment, but you turned this apartment into a home. I am so grateful.” – Susan
You made all that happen in one day for two families! Thank you for your support, kindness and generosity. Thank you for taking the job beyond baseball and showing the community what it really means to be a team.
Go MATS!
With gratitude,
Donna and Chris
