Review for Building a Solid Foundation, Oakland, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Good Evening,

I was at Save Mart in San Jose and I ran into one of your volunteers today. It was a gorgeous fall day and I had some extra time. I listened to Doug Scheurn telling a young woman how to find shelter for herself and her two small children.

Mr. Scheurn was well spoken and quite open about the rewards and disappointments of his drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Within a few moments, Doug had finished. He simply told me 'God Bless You' and 'Have an amazing day!'.

I went to my car and drove home. I made Doug lunch, grabbed him a cold water from the fridge, dipped into my Christmas money, and returned to Mr. Scheurn.

Without a pause, I gave him a tupperware container of food, and ice cold water, and dropped a $20 in his bucket. Doug gave me the warmest hug, many thanks, and a little hope. Thank you.
