The Broad Ripple Angel Fund has been hard at work in November. Janet Webster, social worker at the Indiana School for the Blind requested help on a couple of fronts. The majority of students at the school live there throughout the week, many from very poor households. The school has an unofficial supply of clothing, much of it secondhand, for kids who come in for the week with little to wear. The one thing they are always needing is something most of us never think about - socks and underwear. The Angel Fund provided $150 to stock up on these supplies, along with clothes to fit two unusually large, hard to fit boys.
Patty Slevin, social worker at School 70, called this week needing winter coats and gloves for two brothers, which we were happy to provide for less than $100.
These are typical of the requests we are called on to respond to regularly. If you haven't sent in your dues yet, think about adding a little something for the Masonic Angel Fund.
