“I am so glad. I have been living in my house for 3 months without any furniture. My kids are going to be so happy when they come home and see the couch and the dining table. They have just been sitting on the floor. My main thing was getting the dining table for my kids. Now we have somewhere to eat our meals.”
                ----Angela

"You guys are lifesavers. We have been struggling and this is a blessing. You all have been so helpful. Your volunteers are great, wonderful people. I have been sleeping on the couch for six months. It has been stressful. I am blessed to get all of these things. The last 1 1/2 years have been hard. My father died and it has made things very difficult emotionally and financially. I am ecstatic about the furniture. I don't know what to do. Now I have a stereo and I can play music all day long. I am thrilled. The apartment is now going to be full."
                ----Ousman

“I have been smiling from ear to ear all day long. I am thanking God. My kids and I are sleeping on the floor. They get up for school and they are tired. My doctor says that I need to get up off the floor. I have an air mattress but it is full of holes. I was so happy when I called you… Knowing that I would get the beds at some point was the light at the end of the tunnel.”
                ----Alexis

“My apartment burned to the ground on December 6th and we lost everything. It's been a struggle trying to rebuild… [but] it is so nice to have an organization that can provide help. Now I can get uninterrupted sleep since my baby will be sleeping in a crib - we had been sleeping in a twin bed together.”
                ----Anonymous

"I am so happy to get a crib. My son Anthony was born on December 15 and we do not have a crib for him. We cannot afford one. Right now he sleeps in his car seat. He doesn't like to sleep with us. Ashley from Mary's Center visited our house and saw that we had nothing. She gave me your name and number and told me you could give me a crib. I was so glad because I would not have been able to buy one on my own. In my country, Honduras, we don't have services like this. I couldn't believe that someone would give me a crib for free. I am so happy with everything I got. You gave me so many things. I love it all. Thank you so much. Thank you."
                ----Zoila

"Robin is so happy with everything. She told me that all of you were so nice. She was so excited that she got so much stuff. She is so grateful. This was the first time that I used your services. I have many more patients that could use your help. Once we figured out how to get a truck, which turned out to be much less expensive than we thought, everything else was easy."
                ----Janet commenting on her client

"On Monday I got a message from A Wider Circle to come in for the crib and other furniture. On Tuesday I got a call from Delia and she told me that she had delivered her son Andy. It was perfect. I thought "Wow, they are going to have a crib." I was worried about where all of the children would sleep. They now have 4 children, including twin girls who are 18 months. I was worried that the baby would sleep in the parents' bed and the twins would jump on the bed and hurt the baby. Most of the moms I work with don't have cribs and their babies sleep with them."
                ----Rosa, social worker in Prince George's County

“Coming here was super; it was easy and very helpful. I got several items, including a dining room table. We are currently eating on the couch. Now my son will have a table where we can put his highchair. My wife is going to be very happy and very appreciative.”
                ----Sgt. Michael, member of Operation Homefront

"My heart is full. I feel good. I got nice things that I really needed. I am pleased with everything. I appreciate everything that I received. This is really nice. I got sick last year and I was in hospital from January through June. When you are not at home things happen. My children don't have to sleep on the floor anymore and I can take the sheets off of my windows."
                ----Robin

“He slept with that [new] toy all night. His father was just killed...I just sat up all night at the frame of the bed thinking and thanking God that there are people like you and a place like this. My house feels like a home again.”
