Dear Readers,
As
you may know, during the past four years the Middletown, Delaware community has been
enhanced by the operation of a four unit transitional house for families in
need of a home. The project was the dream of few concerned citizens for a
number of years and, thanks to the efforts of a number of volunteers and the support
of the town and county, the project became a reality.
Led by an all-volunteer
Board, which incorporated under the name Family Help Inc., the house was fixed
up and furnished with donations. Four families moved in during the summer of
2010 and received food and clothing as well as counseling to meet their
personal goals and ensure a successful transition to safe and affordable
housing. Since our beginnings four years ago, several families have made
successful transitions to new homes, and new tenants have moved into our
housing facility.
Clearly,
Family Help Inc. is helping transform the lives of many families and has made a
significant difference in their lives. The generosity of many individuals and
groups has allowed us to meet an important need in our community. In order for
us to continue this work, we are asking you to consider making a tax deductible
donation to help us make a difference in the lives of these families. Funds are
being used to maintain the house, provide basic needs for the families and run
a program to give them a better financial foundation.
In
these challenging economic times, there are many causes in need of funds to
support people. I hope you will see ours as one that represents a concrete way
to make a difference in our local community and consider supporting us, as you
are able.
Checks
can be sent to Family Help Inc., PO Box 302, Middletown, DE 19709. If you would
like to get involved in other ways, would like to have a tour of the property
or have questions about the program, feel free to contact me at 302-528-5685.
Please feel free to pass on this plea to others who might want to support this
noble effort.
I thank you in advance for your support.
