You’re simply the best!
Janice Morgan Interim Executive Director If there is one thing I have learned at Project Transitions, it is that you, our friends and supporters, are simply the best! This year, Doug’s House’s new building turns five. What an exciting time it was five years ago! It started out as a volunteer project, tearing down an old fence in the backyard. The project caught the eye and heart of Main Street Homes’ owners, Steve & Michelle Bartholomew. They walked through the hospice with Charlotte and said, “Let’s build a new one.” Every day, I pass by Doug’s House on my way to work and think of all the love that surrounds the hospice. I am so thankful for our wonderful caring staff, Board of Directors, and you, our supporters. During the early days of HIV/ AIDS, you came together as a force to provide help and comfort to loved ones affected by the disease. You took up the fight and worked tirelessly to help friends and family members. Today, many people from all walks of life do not have the resources, family, or friends to help them overcome the effects of HIV/AIDS. We are their advocates. Who better than us to fight for them?
21 YEARS OF SUPPORT
You are a kind and generous group of supporters and friends to Project Transitions. While processing donations at the office one day, I came across a check for $10, along with a small note saying only this: “When I can get a second job, I will give more.” This touched my heart. If you are new to our family, welcome. I know you will be blessed by helping others. If you are a long
time supporter who got a little tired and have taken a sabbatical, come back. We miss you and need you. And to those who just keep giving year after year, bless you. Our programs are strong because of each and every one of you. Dreams become reality when you, our supporters, take action—and you have certainly been active these past 21 years.
