“A Sense Of Home represents, for me, the power of the individual, or in this case, individuals. Georgie and Melissa started out responding to one young man’s request for assistance-and then they responded again…and again. As a result, they have build a network of volunteers and donation streams which is now A Sense Of Home. A simple idea, really, but so profound in action. It fulfills the need of both the recipient and volunteer: it fosters paying forward the good fortune, kindness and support received, in a very personal, hands on way.
A home is not a mere transient shelter: its essence lies in its permanence, in its capacity of accretion and solidification, in its quality of representing, in all its detail, the personalities of the people who live in it.” H.L. Mencken “The organization is dynamic and evolving as one-time recipients become future volunteers. With each new home, the level of commitment grows, and what was once a grassroots effort, has become a full blown community of families. I am honored to play a small part.”
