Back to School, Back to House of Light!
August is a time for kids to return to school. August is also a time to return to House of Light.
One of our caseworkers was sharing about a family from the homeless shelter whom she had recently placed into permanent housing.
“I couldn’t think of anything more important than getting some beds to kids returning to school,” says Brandy Pfalmer, president of House of Light. “I am a mom and I couldn’t imagine my kids starting the school year without a bed. School is hard enough and I know what happens when my kids don’t get good sleep. It isn’t good.”
House of Light gave away 14 beds to 15 children last week.
“Sleep is a basic need,” Pfalmer says. “All children need a comfy bed to get that basic need.”
Our caseworkers told our group again how hard it is to get family furnishings for their clients’ homes.
House of Light served five families, including 21 people. To understand how you can be a part of the process, click Learn how you can help, below.
