As the year comes to an end, we’re reflecting on 2013. We think of the many worried single parents with children helped by Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation: we remember the relief in the parents’ eyes and the smiles of kids – after each received a toy, or shoes – who can’t understand life’s struggles, yet.
We think also of individuals and organizations that had the courage, heart and ability to support EHHF’s mission of meeting essentials needs of struggling single parents with children and of educating the parents to help them develop self-sufficiency skills.
Thanksgiving may be over, but the time for giving thanks isn’t. Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation wishes to express heartfelt thanks to its many generous donors, contributors, volunteers and supporters: EACH of you is extra-ordinary! EACH of you is a hero! EACH of you has made a difference! EACH of you played an important role in relieving human suffering and helping build a better future for underprivileged children and empowering single parents, many of whom were giving up hope. THANK YOU!!!
Our very special thanks go to four MAJOR forces for good:
- L.A. Diaper Drive for providing much needed diapers as incentive for attending self-improvement workshops. Wonderful organization, L.A. Diaper Drive is a generous supporter and a great motivator!
- Sherwin Williams Paint Store in Glendale for continuing support of EHHF’s fundraising efforts. A great and highly recommended store with a heart of gold focused on the future of America!
- Kimo’s Appliances for coming through with a donation of a refrigerator when it was so badly needed!
Last but NOT least, Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation thanks SOVA the food bank of Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles. Both SOVA and Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles are organizations that not only tirelessly serve the poor in the community, but generously support other charities in fulfilling their missions. SOVA is our hero and a savior!
SOVA, the food bank of Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles provided EHHF’s members / beneficiaries with desperately needed food when NO food was available from ANY other source (in November and December 2013!) and for this Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation is exceedingly grateful. EHHF was both, humbled and honored by the generosity and solidarity of SOVA.
As we’re nearing New Year, everyone has wishes for the upcoming 2014. To all EHHF’s allies: may the New Year bless you richly for the goodness you’ve had for fellow human beings in need! As for Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation, our dream continues: EHHF wishes for a facility that would provide housing, meals, child care and employment so no struggling single parent with a child would ever be hopeless!
