Greeting to all of our wonderful volunteers!
Operation Help Florence Comfort House!!!
Norma, Susan and I had the honor of meeting Florence Ponziano; the founder
of Florence’s Comfort House.
We were incredibly impressed with her drive and dedication to the children of
the Montopolis neighborhood.
Flo, as she likes to be called, has opened her home and her property to
the disadvantaged children in Montopolis as a safe place to go after school.
Kids can get their clothes washed, a hot meal, work in a garden, create
art, work on homework and even play with some ducks.
Young mothers often show up to get some extra diapers, bottles or blankets which Flo does her best to keep in stock.
Flo herself is the child of a drug addict and remembers mostly not having
a safe place to go after school.
Flo’s House needs some serious TLC if she is to continue to provide a safe
and clean environment for the children of Montopolis neighborhood.
Some basic home repairs need to be completed plus a couple of major projects,
but there were other, smaller projects as well; a garden in need of landscaping,
a swing chain that needs replacing, trim that could use a coat of paint
and so on…
I thought that with 3 or 4 people we could fix a few of her problems…but if we could get 20-30 folks together we cold really make a HUGE difference for Flo and the hundreds of kids that go
through her home every month!
SCARE for a CURE will provide the needed
materials and tools but we need some PEOPLE POWER!
