The following is a letter written to the Monitor by Sue-Lynn Bernardini, daughter of an emergency housing program client. The emergency housing program is one offering from The Friends Program.
Dear Concord Monitor,
Hi, I’m Sue-Lynn. I’m 9 years old. I’m writing to you, and I want to tell about our family shelter on 30 Thompson St. Well, we did get two bathrooms. They provide us with everything we need. And one part about it is I’m still with my family and we are not separated. And everyday there’s an activity for us. They are really fun. We do crafts and we bake. And let me tell you about the staff. They are so nice, like Mary, she’s a hair dresser, and she has the most coolest hair ever and she always teaches me fashion tips.
This place is so cool and to tell you the truth it’s not what I expected. I expected a gym with a bunch of beds but it really is just like a home. It has pictures hanging up, a kitchen and we each get a fridge and cabinet and a resource room. That room has a computer, puzzles, board games and arts and crafts. It’s really cool.
Well, thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Sue-Lynn Bernardini
