Thank you to CRC volunteers John Svirsky and Jeanne Livingston for their generous challenge gift. They offered $1,000 to launch the Guardian Angel Fund (GAF), which was established to help our clients with an expense that isn’t aided by other human service organizations.
The GAF would make a tremendous impact on our clients, such as an 89-year-old woman who couldn’t use the Collier Para-Transit service for transportation to her doctor’s appointment. She was riding on the Collier County bus, which meant she had to get to the bus stop early and walk a significant distance in the heat. Then she was jostled about as the bus made multiple stops before arriving at her destination. With only a few dollars, we could have secured taxi rides for her and helped make her life a little easier.
With their gift, John and Jeanne offer a challenge to all Collier Resource Center supporters so that we may be able to provide ongoing support to our clients in their times of need.
We invite you to join their generosity and donate to the Guardian Angel Fund today.
