Abandoned Student
A student was abandoned by his mom, left alone at Providence. We were able to get him clothes, basic needs items (hygiene), shoes, a backpack, and more supplies. Kathleen Stilwee, Garfield Elementary's principal, visited him at Providence and was able to bring him snacks, books, and school supplies. But most importantly, he was given some art supplies so he could draw. Eventually, we secured some stability for him with an amazing couple—we were able to get them started with his needs as well. They were beyond grateful!
