Review for Gardner's House Inc, Hartford, CT, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am a Board Member of Gardner's House and proud to be! Maggie Gardner spends all of her waking hours in the service of other cancer victims, helping them to survive when the usual social service networks have turned them away. She fights for their right to a clean place to live, to keep the electricity on, to obtain nutritious food and to keep the families functioning together as they fight this disease. People who cannot afford their medicine, who are about to be evicted, who need money and help with a visa for passage to the states to seek medical aid, to keep their children in a proper environment - these are just a few of the situations of the people she has helped. Gardner's House is their refuge and Maggie Gardner their angel here on earth. If would be wonderful if no one needed Gardner's House, but fortunatly, it is there for those afflicted with cancer and who are losing hope. By her example, she gives people the means to regain their spirit and strength, knowing there is someone who cares and can help.
