Supporting My Brother's Keeper Makes a Difference

 

Introduction

 

Have you ever wondered how small acts of kindness can lead to significant changes? Recently, a wonderful financial gift was made to My Brother’s Keeper (https://www.mybrotherskeeper.org) in my name. This charity is dedicated to helping individuals and families in need within the Brockton, Easton, and Dartmouth communities and surrounding areas. Through an array of services, My Brother’s Keeper plays a vital role in improving lives every day.

 

Transforming Spaces with Furniture Assistance

 

Furniture assistance is one of the key offerings. You might find it hard to believe, but many families enter their homes with nothing but the clothes on their backs. My Brother’s Keeper transforms bare apartments into welcoming spaces. Picture a home filled with everything from beds and cribs to kitchen sets and living room furniture. Imagine the relief of receiving essential household items like dishes, pots, and towels. Every item makes a substantial difference in creating a comfortable living environment.

 

Nourishing Lives with Food Assistance

 

Food insecurity is a serious issue for many in your community. Thankfully, My Brother’s Keeper provides a solution. Residents can call for food assistance and, within hours, receive a substantial delivery. This service not only nourishes bodies but also lifts spirits. Knowing that help is available can ease anxiety and create a sense of stability in tough times. You play a part in that positive change through the generous gift made in your name.

 

Spreading Joy with Christmas Assistance

 

During the holiday season, My Brother’s Keeper is truly a beacon of hope. The charity brings joy to children and takes stress off parents’ shoulders. Picture the smiles on kids’ faces as they unwrap presents on Christmas morning. Each toy and gift has a lasting impact, making the holiday season a bit brighter for families facing hardship. Your contribution plays a vital role in making this magic happen.

 

Building Futures with Credential Support

 

Helping individuals gain self-sufficiency is also essential. My Brother’s Keeper collaborates with local shelters and driving schools to help homeless adults obtain their driver’s licenses. Did you know that having a driver’s license is one of the strongest predictors of self-sufficiency? By supporting this effort, you pave the way for a brighter future for those in need.

 

Conclusion

 

In summary, the gift made in your name to My Brother’s Keeper exemplifies the power of kindness. With a focus on furniture, food, holiday joy, and credentials, this organization transforms lives within the community. By participating in this wonderful cause, you’re contributing to a brighter future for countless individuals and families.

 

This Christmas, consider making a donation to a charitable organization in the name of someone who seems to have everything and doesn't appear to need anything. Instead of giving another gift that may go unused, a donation in their honor can create a meaningful impact. 

 

Many organizations rely on generous contributions to provide essential support to those in need, whether it’s food, shelter, or holiday cheer. By choosing to donate in their name, you give the gift of hope and compassion to those less fortunate, allowing your loved one to experience the joy of giving in a truly profound way. 

 

Join in spreading kindness this holiday season and make a difference that resonates beyond the material.

Good morning, Lew... My Brother's Keeper sounds like an amazing organization... and I love the name, too. I can relate to how you feel about a contribution made in your name. When someone makes a donation in my name to the Charlotte Humane Society I'm always over the moon!

Lew Corcoran - I clicked on the link you provided about "My Brother's Keeper," and was glad to learn about the life of James "Jim" Orcutt and his wife Terry, founders of the organization. RIP Jim.... 

Their story was very moving and inspiring. When it comes to doing ministry work, they raised the bar! How their organization got started, because of the movie clip I watched really tugged at the heart.

To know that someone made a donation to "My Brother's Keeper," in your name is also very touching. You know that gift will (or has) gone far to bring relief to someone in need. 

This is a very special story from the heart.

Thank you for your heartfelt reflection, Patricia Feager, ABR,CRS,GRI,MRP! It’s truly moving to see how Jim and Terry's legacy continues to inspire generosity and compassion in others.

Lew Corcoran - Jim and Terry's legacy is, in my opinion, a follow-up to Mother Teresa's mission here on earth. There's still a lot more to do. But thank goodness Jim and Terry did something out of the goodness of their hearts and made a difference. Seeing that clip. Being a mother and having no choice but to give the love of her life so the child could have a better life, was very difficult and took a lot of courage.

Good Afternoon Lew Corcoran 

What a great organization My Brother's Keeper is. People are always in need and it isn't just those we may think of. I have bookmarked their webpage. Thank you for sharing this wonderful outreach. It reminds me of the verse from Matthew 25:40 which reads "Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me."
