April 14 Carol Ross Birthday Apartment Setup for a pregnant DV survivor

Date: April 14, 2019

Thanks to the kindness of Carol Ross, who recently celebrated her birthday, and her family and friends’ responsive generosity, KindWorks will prepare the apartment for an 8 months pregnant survivor of domestic violence when she moves into an apartment from My Sister’s Place Shelter. 

Using the many gifts from Carol’s community, we will transform an empty apartment into a fully furnished, warm and comfortable home. Come for an hour or two to unload and arrange furniture, organize the bedroom and kitchen, put together and make the crib and bed, and hang art. Many hands make light work and it’s a lot of fun! **

Please email Alexa at aabdelatey@earthlink.net or call/text (540) 538-9696 at any time in the process if you have questions. 

Many, many thanks!

Sincerely, Alexa Abdelatey & Sue Cohn, KindWorks Apartment Coordinators
