The event,
hosted by Mark and Vanessa Barr
was an outstanding success!
June
12th, 2008 was a brilliant evening and marked
a milestone in the growth of services for the homeless
in Oakville.
The
residents and graduates of HSH who joined us for the
evening spoke of the palpable sense of caring that they
felt, a graciousness that was established first and
foremost by our hosts.
And there was great joy at the outstanding amount raised
at the evening - $34,000! This will make a tremendous
difference in our growing service for homeless women and
children with the purchase of a modest apartment
building in Oakville. The success of the evening was
entirely due to our caring patrons, the Barr family, and
to you our guests, who gave so generously.
As well, with the debut that evening of our new video,
we are now able to tell the story of Home Suite Hope as
an innovative homelessness initiative right here in
Oakville. This video captures the essence of the need
and the work that we do and was generously donated by
Sean Buckley of Buck Productions. It
can be viewed on the website, under the
MEDIA tab.
The Board of Home Suite Hope is
grateful for the support of our Evening of Friendship
Patrons.
