Homeless Promgoer Gets a Gown

This is so exciting. I have to share it here!

Last week a department store donated some beautiful formal gowns. This is a rainbow assortment in several sizes and styles. You should have been at the office when we unpacked the boxes! We were excited to receive them.

Yesterday we got an email from another agency. The person is trying to find a prom gown for a teenage girl who is homeless. She wants to go to her senior prom. The magical night of a lifetime that is taken for granted by so many teens across the nation is impossible for the homeless. Maybe someone has one hanging in a closet they will loan?

Or maybe a kind donor has already seen to it that she has a dress? A volunteer will be hard at work steaming them all today.

We can't wait until she comes to try them on!

Your donations of time, items and money for rent and expenses is what make it possible for this girl to get to her senior prom. We thank you. I know she will too!
