You are making a difference: Polly Garish, St.Vincent de Paul Stella Maris House:
"It is disheartening for a mom to have to resort to a shelter at any time of year, but it becomes especially hard during the holidays. Your thoughtful, caring and kid gesture of giving helped the residents to know that they are not forgotten and gave them hope for a brighter tomorrow.
Thank you for thinking of our homeless children, by doing so, you have brought smiles to the faces of our children and relief to our concerned Mom's. this was a Christmas they will always remember because of your kindness. I am most confident that you have made a huge difference in their lives in the years to come."
