At Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation every day is dedicated to helping single mother families in crisis; to finding solutions for individual families; to the endless pursuit of charitable contributions which – as you can easily imagine – is quite discouraging in today’s economic climate. (Case in point, a whole group of Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation’s beneficiaries is desperate for mattresses. We contacted many mattress manufacturers, distributors and stores to no avail…)
Sherwin Williams Paint Stores Group (thanks to the generosity and common sense of one of its store managers, Mr. Yashar Basmenji) has come to the rescue of struggling single mother families with a generous donation of a large amount of paint. The donation brings relief to the EHHF’s members / beneficiaries who are in need of home renovations. The remaining paint – as well as anticipated future donations of paint from Sherwin Williams – will be used for fundraising.
Not every donor realizes that a donation of goods – even if they’re not listed on EHHF’s urgently needed list – can be used for fundraising and – in form of funds – used to purchase urgently needed goods.
Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation and quite a few of its members are in a jubilant mood, hoping to eventually turn Sherwin Williams’ donations of paint into at least one desperately needed mattress and – God willing! – baby diapers.
From the bottom of our collective heart: thank you Sherwin Williams Paint Stores Group AND Yashar!
If you’re not a single parent in need and reading this page, please buy your paint at your local Sherwin Williams Paint Store. Sherwin Williams sells superb quality paint, wall coverings and paint supplies. Sherwin Williams is known for the excellent quality of the products it sells; it should be known also for its commitment to the community it serves. Sherwin Williams didn’t say “no” like so many others today do; it defied the trend and extended helping hand to the most vulnerable among us: disadvantaged single mothers and underprivileged children. Kudos to Sherwin Williams and God Bless Yashar!
