Our other stop was at the home of Francisco, his two-year-old son Chris, and his parents, Laura and Francisco Sr. The tiny apartment had no furniture to store the family’s possessions, the grandparents slept on an old mattress and box spring, and Francisco slept on the floor with his son.
Volunteers went straight to work, arranging the furniture and hanging pictures and drapes.
What a transformation when the family came home!
A trained chef, Francisco Jr. was excited to see his kitchen which included a completely new set of pots and pans, and a butcher block.
The family now has a warm, comfortable living room, complete with a play table for Chris. Francisco’s mother loved the peaceful colors and decor of her bedroom. Francisco Jr. and his son now have comfy beds in an airplane-themed room – just what two-year-old Chris wanted.
A heartfelt thank you to all the donors and volunteers who brought joy and hope to these families. You have changed their lives in a way they will never forget.
And as always, we could do none of this without the gift of CHIPMAN RELOCATION AND LOGISTICS.
With gratitude,
The Grateful Gatherings Marin Team
