Nancy K. Perry Children's Shelter
This post is hard for me to write. Not because of asking the Active Rain Community as a whole for help but because it reminds me that Mom isn't here with me. I know she is watching over our every move and hugging her grandchildren through my arms! Every kiss I give dad has her loving touch.
Mrs Nancy K Perry and the Resolution from the South Carolina General assembly.
I delivered a ton of clothing to the Children's Shelter yesterday. Revisiting childhood memories and memories in general and I was overwhelmed. I thought "what can I do to even make a small impact and carry on the huge legacy of my mother?" Idea...I can blog it all over the Internet!
My Acquire Real Estate office here in Columbia South Carolina is making a yearly donation to the Children's Shelter from every closing. A percentage of our net will be sent to help these children that desperately need our support. But Christmas time is when we really need your help. So many gifts to buy to make a childs heart sing on Christmas Morning.
What can someone like you do to help? EVERYTHING HELPS!

We have two funds which receive donations; (1) The Operating Fund is made up of unrestricted gifts and is used for day-to-day operations of the Shelter, and (2) the Nancy K. Perry Endowment which is our long term investment to provide for financial security for the Shelter in the future and is controlled by the Board of Trustees. If you do not designate which fund you wish to contribute to, the funds will be deposited in the operating account .

Donations provide food, clothing, and a loving, home-like environment. Operating Fund gifts are unrestricted allowing The Shelter to use the funds where they are most needed. For more information, click here.
This fund was begun in 2002 as a way to ensure the permanency and financial security of the Shelter in the future.
