Kids Step Up To Help Others: 2024

Tuesday, December 10, 2024

Thank you!

Steffany (and Pete - I don't have your email or I would have included you), I hope you and your family are doing well and had a great thanksgiving. We just got this incredibly generous donation from Lorey Doolittle on behalf of Annie (and the sweetest note from Annie about our organization). Thank you so much to Annie! And of course Lorey and all of you for thinking of Hope & Comfort and our mission and those we serve.

Kerry, our CEO, cc'd here, and Abby MacDonald, our Community Engagement Manager, would love to meet Annie (and you and Pete), give her a tour of our facility and think of additional ways (and her friends as she said in her beautiful note), can get involved. We will write Lorey a letter but please thank her from us as well.

Thanks again to Annie and you all! Happy holidays.

A SPECIAL THANKS TO

Citizen Schools, an incredible non profit organization which partners with schools like The Rogers Middle School in Hyde Park, MA to offer its students after school apprenticeships taught by "citizen" teachers like myself. Citizen Schools gives the "teachers" the necessary flexibility to design classes like this one that uniquely fit a volunteer's passions. http://www.citizenschools.org/.
Fidelity Cares, Fidelity's community outreach and volunteer support organization, for all of their incredible continuing support to volunteers like myself.
RandomKid, an amazing non profit organization whose mission is to help kids help others. Thank you for all of their incredible support, kindness, and creativity throughout our apprenticeship. http://www.randomkid.org/
