SimplyHelp

Please donate: Toys, Children's Clothes, Winter Jackets or Business Attire

About 10 people showed up at the warehouse last Sunday and a lot of work was done: 4 pallets of boxes were finished! 

Let’s keep this momentum going – on Sunday 2 weeks from now, Nov.7- we need to sort and pack 4000 winter jackets for our upcoming donation distribution for homeless families in early December.

Please mark your calendar and join us for 2 hours for some packing fun! 

There are two other donation distributions coming up:

1. Business attire for men and women at WorkSource centers.

SimplyHelp will be helping low-income people in LA County to secure a job.

The first step SimplyHelp is taking is providing people with business attire, so they look professional at their job interviews.

If you would like to give someone a well-deserved chance to secure a job, please donate business attire in good condition – next Sunday at the warehouse (Nov. 7).

    2. SimplyHelp will join forces with Foothill Unity for the big annual Christmas Distribution for the 3^rd year in a row.  SimplyHelp is now collecting toys and children’s clothes in good condition, so we can prepare gifts for 3500 children.  

The warehouse will be closed this Sunday. 

Be happy,

Lotte

Give a Helping Hand at the Warehouse next Sunday

Dear Volunteers, 

There were 2 volunteers who did a wonderful job packing and organizing the donations at the warehouse last Sunday. Thank you!!

I know we can do better than that the next time – please come to the warehouse for just 1 or 2 hours to help pack donations and get them ready to ship to people in need.  

The warehouse will be closed this Sunday and will open again next Sunday.  

SimplyHelp is collaborating with the city of LA this year, to do a holiday distribution for 4000 homeless families.

In order to assure that all 4000 people will receive some love, SimplyHelp is collecting as many winter clothes, hats, scarves, gloves and blankets (all in good condition) as possible. 

Please help your neighbors and donate any of the items above.

Have a wonderful week, 

Lotte

School in Nicaragua gives Girls Confindence and Succesful Future

SimplyHelp started supporting a High School in Nicaragua in 2006.

When SimplyHelp started to support this school, most students and some teachers had never touched a computer in their lives.

Now, teachers have learned how to use a computer and the internet and use these new skills to improve their classes.

Students learned and developed fast; they are participating in competitions on ‘Best Website Design’!

Because of SimplyHelp’s support for the tailoring and carpenter classes, students who did not have to means to pay for education before, are now able to learn a vocational skill well and are able to find a steady job within weeks upon graduation. 

Personal Story

Martha Ernestina Mercado Cerda is 18 yrs. old and studied at Guillermo Ampie Lanzas High School in La Conception.  Her father is a teacher and her mother is a secretary. They do not have the resources to send Martha to university.

When Martha finished her secondary education she decided to go to Nursing School because she likes to help the people.

Martha: “I studied in the high school from 2005 to 2009 and honestly I am very thankful for my teachers and for SimplyHelp’s support for the school. When I got to the school I did not know anything about how to use the computer, however now I can use it, I want to tell to SimplyHelp “thank you very much” because nowadays I can do my homework and research using the technology I learned to use at school. And I am sure that I am going to be a successful girl because I can use the technology.” 

• Warehouse will be open for donation drop-off this Sunday, Oct. 10^th from 2pm-4pm.

Now that the weather has cooled down, please come help us pack and organize donations at the warehouse. 

SimplyHelp will work together with LA City this winter to provide 4000 homeless families with warm winter clothes.  Please help these people and donate coats, blankets, sweaters and scarves.
