In September 2009, Reason to Give delivered Vanesa her first success story. Thanks to our donors, Vanesa received a new blender for herself and all new school supplies for her grandson Nathan. Nathan is excited to go back to school with everything he needs. Since then, Vanesa has received many items, including a microwave, coats for the three children and shoes for two of them.

In addition, Vanesa has recevied a $250 holiday gift card to help the family through the long Chicago winter.

Thanks to our donors, in April 2010, Reason to Give delivered shoes for Vanesa and her brother.  Vanesa is very thankful to all the donors that helped fulfill her family's needs.
