“Dear XXXXXXX,

 

February 10, 2022; will be my first full year here at Patty Crowley Apartments. I remember moving here on a Wednesday morning, February 10, 2021; from Breakthrough Women Shelter. All I had was a garbage bag with my things and a new-found hope. I was expecting to sleep on the floor because I had no money for furniture. I was just elated to finally have my own apartment, after many years of homelessness. When you opened my apartment door, I was so surprised and remember screaming oh my God! I saw my fully made bed, my refrigerator, microwave, dressers, table & chairs with plates and utensils. Then you told me Laundry is open twenty-four hours free wash & dry (No more dirty clothes).

 

I am so very grateful still one year later. It is a joy to have my home at Patty Crowley Apartments. Thank you for caring! If there is any volunteer work I can help with please let me know!

 

Sincerely,

Mildred J.”
