Our House e-newsletter October & November 2013 | Page 9

After an immediate call for help,
Our House supporters send an
immediate response.
Whew! You won‟t need to rush to
the mailbox and fish out that rent
check you mailed this morning, and
you can close that Google Maps
window where you‟ve been checking
out rental trucks and storage lockers!

After Our House‟s October 1st press
release, community members
responded right away. Some sent
money to help VISTAs pay rent and
bills until the living allowances
returned. Others sent gift cards for
Kroger, Walmart, and Target so
VISTAs could get groceries and
other necessities. All eleven VISTAs
and our non-VISTA co-workers
were immensely grateful and
relieved that our community cared
enough about the VISTAs‟ impact
on Our House that you helped us
have what we needed to continue
our service.
See the following page for a list
of individuals and groups that
donated to keep our VISTAs going
while we waited for the return of
our living allowance.
