April 12 Apartment Setup for Monica and Pete

Date: April 12, 2019

KindWorks is thrilled to beautifully furnish the newly secured apartment for Monica and Pete, a couple recently profiled in the Washington Post because they had been left homeless after the building in which they were living was condemned.  After living in tents on the streets in DC for 2 years, a crowd funding campaign has raised enough money to enable these two people, and their dog, to secure a home once again!   We will transform their new empty apartment into a fully furnished, warm and comfortable home for them all. We invite you to join us for an hour or two to unload and arrange furniture, organize the bedroom and kitchen, put together and make the bed, and hang art. Many hands make light work and it’s a lot of fun! *

Please email deb.lang@DoKindWorks or call (301) 246-2452 at any time in the process if you have questions. 

Many, many thanks!

Sincerely, Deb Lang and Alexa Abdelatey
