Happy Holidays, Everyone!
This is our first Holiday Charity post of the season. We’ll be doing this all season long to remind ourselves and others of all of the people who are suffering and going without during the holidays. If there’s someone in need whom you’re thinking of as well, or if there’s a cause you’d like us to highlight, please post comments below.
The first cause is the Beatrice Family in Newton, Mass. You can read more about their plight here . The quick summary: Jeff Beatrice, 49, was a father to eleven kids when he suddenly died of a heart attack on October 23rd, under the stress of losing his mother in a fire, caring for his brother in assisted living, and a huge economic weight on his back. His death has left his family not only totally bereaved, but utterly broke. His widow, Elinor, and their children will lose their house in the new year if the family can’t buy it back from the financial firm which holds their mortgage: right now that figure stands at $300k. If they can’t raise the money, the house will be auctioned off January 5th, and Elinor an dher children will risk being being separated. Jeff was a beloved figure in the town, and a soccer coach to many kids in the community. The Beatrices are in our hearts during this holiday season. For more information, please read below.
