THANK YOU "FAIRY" MUCH!

• Thanks for the Good Fairy Spring Cleaning Program: They were so detailed orientated and I so appreciate the deep cleaning. It meant so much as I haven’t been able to do a deep clean since last year : ( my apt apartment feels wonderful

• I wanted to reach out and thank you for all of the wonderful contributions to our CARE homeless outreach team from the Good Fairies! The handmade gifts for our staff were an incredibly nice gesture, and we loved seeing Fatai on your Facebook and Instagram pages (we’ve shared on our Facebook!).

The pandemic has resulted in tragic loss for some families and economic devastation for others, but we’ve also experienced a “silver lining” in that we’ve witnessed so many people stepping up to help their neighbors, and your organization is certainly an excellent example of this. It’s really impressive that your network of volunteers grew so much, and so quickly. While many of our staff have moved to remote work, our CARE Teams have been out in the field every day, all year. It will only be at the end of this week that all of our team will have received their second vaccination, which will be a big relief to me. As Fatai may have shared with you, COVID-19 has required new safety measures that have slowed the rate at which people can be admitted into shelters which means that some people have no choice but to stay in their cars or out in the open. While we’ve had some lovely spring weather it is still quite cold, so the donations you have provided to help people stay warm are deeply appreciated.

Thank you for your support of our work and your care for our neighbors who are currently without homes.

• Dear Penny and Giulia would like to thank you both for the joyful visit I received from Giulia and her baby daughter today. They came bearing gifts like the 3 kings...true fairies 🧚🏻‍♀️

• I want to thank you for referring Dr. Bane. She was wonderful. In my book the best. She was able to care for Jake and educate me about his illness and care. The best part was Jake liked her too. He was mad for a bit but it did not last long.

• We never thought we would meet three “Good Fairies” in one lifetime, but we have. You are full of surprises, all good!!! Thank you again for making our 55th Anniversary so special. If we had know you were going to take our picture, post it on Facebook and blow it up and frame it, we would have at least dressed a little better. The fruit tart was delicious and dessert for a week. You continue to bring joy into our lives. Thank you for being such wonderful people. We will always remember this time.
