The Gathering Place
I was introduced to a wonderful place a decade ago by my dear friend, Barbara, she had a sweet spot in her heart for this organization and she was enthusiastic and committed to letting people know how important she thought this community drop-in center is. I can still see her smile, her petite frame with a whimsical hat on her head piling all kinds of donations into her Hummer and heading off to Denver to contribute what she collected. My friend has since made her transition and it's in her memory that this week we pay honor to her beloved charity. Please join me this week and donate a minimum of $3-$10.00 to support women and children who are experiencing homelessness and poverty. Donate money, time or as my friend so often gathered, diapers for the babies. This holiday I'm grateful that I crossed paths with a loving person like Barbara, she radiated fun, compassion and commitment to the people and the community she lived in. She was an angel while she was here and I know she continues her good work in the next dimension.
