We are so thankful for Jacob Paul building these adorable picnic tables for our young children and a large donation box that will all withstand poor weather. Jacob organized and led this for his Eagle Scout Project Troop 1 Lancaster, which took more than 280 hours to complete. The red table will stay at Bonnie's Place and the brown table will go to Journey Home for the children there. We first met Jacob last year when he participated with other Nashoba Regional High School students who donated items or did service projects for us. Thanks Jacob for helping our families again!

***We will continue our loving-kindness and compassion mission onto Habitat for Humanity North Central Massachusetts, where 10% of our May sales will be donated.

***May also brings us Hanna. She is a charming, fun, loving 2.5 year old who recently got diagnosed with a BRAF fusion tumor (PA) a rare pediatric brain tumor that is inoperable. Hanna is currently undergoing chemotherapy weekly for the next year to hopefully shrink the tumor and relieve some of the debilitating symptoms that this tumor has caused for her. Hanna has an older brother who is 7 and a younger sister who is 8 months old. With everything going on mom is unable to work and dad recently had to drop down to part time so that he could be there for his daughter and his family during this difficult time. Our fight for Hanna will begin on May 1st and end on May 31st where another 10% of our May sales will go to supporting Hanna and her family. Please join us to show our love and support for Hanna and Habitat for Humanity🙏.

This month, Susan Nails is contributing 10% of April sales or $3000, whichever is greater, to North Star. Also, the Esler Family Foundation will match the gift dollar for dollar. Thanks so much Huong and your team at Susan Nails!
