You Can Make a Difference by Giving the Gift of Support

 “I feel positive now about setting goals and knowing I can achieve them thanks to the support of HOW and my new friend Lee.”  -Donna

Meet Donna, a woman who found her way to HOW last December. Donna recently moved to Provincetown, leaving behind a thriving dog walking business in Manhattan. Adjusting to life in a remote area with her new baby, in a small apartment, and without a vehicle, Donna felt overwhelmed. At the same time, she was managing multiple chronic health conditions. She reached out to us for support in organizing and unpacking while caring for her newborn. 

Our team quickly connected Donna with Lee, a dedicated volunteer eager to help. Lee began visiting Donna weekly to sort through and organize her new family’s space. Over time, Donna and Lee developed a real connection and friendship. The best part? Lee is also a HOW client member. This experience beautifully illustrates the sense of community we foster, where members not only receive services but also give back by supporting each other. 

Additionally, our volunteers have been driving Donna and her baby to a weekly Mommy and Me support group up Cape, allowing her to connect with others and find the support she needs. Since connecting with HOW, Donna has expressed that she now feels positive about setting and achieving goals for herself. Her first item on the list is getting a driver’s license!
