Review for SFSmiles, San Francisco, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Chad asked if I could help make a delivery to one of the homeless mom's who recently was moved into an apartment. We delivered her a sofa, end tables, lamps, a TV and some baby and kitchen items. The women was 8 months pregnant and had been living on the streets. She was so excited about having a place to live and thrilled with her own living room furniture and a place to sit and relax. She thanked us over and over for everything. When we were leaving we asked if we could give her a hug. You could tell she was a very proud women, but after I hugged her eyes were glassy, and she was trying hard not to cry in front of us. Chad and I were doing the same - but as soon as we got back to Chad's vehicle we both burst into tears. I thought how blessed Chad was that he gets to help so many people every week. but more important how wonderful SFSmiles is and the NUMEROUS people this organization helps.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

They need a place for donations, where people can drop off and pick up items. Currently Chad is working out of his home, and his garage is where they store the donations.
