Hello BCRHHR friends and family-

On this , please consider donating to the BCRHHR. Through donor support, we are able to provide our patients and their families with items like winter coats and clothing, transportation cards, grocery store gift cards, strollers, car seats, and other essentials. This would not be possible without the generosity and support from our community.

This past year, our center has seen a great increase in families from Haiti and Latin America, many with young children and babies on the way. We continue to see patients from Ukraine, Afghanistan, and around the world who are in need of support. All donations directly benefit our patients.

Please consider making a purchase from our Amazon wish list. Anything - big or small, is greatly appreciated.

If you have questions about how else you can support our work, please email Casey at casey.waskiewicz@bmc.org.

Wishing you and your loved ones and happy and safe holiday season.

Hello to our BCRHHR Friends -

We hope that you and your loved ones had a safe and happy Thanksgiving. For this year's Giving Tuesday, please consider donating to the BCRHHR. Over the past year, our Center has received a influx in new patients due to the crises in Afghanistan, Ukraine, Haiti, and around the world. A purchase from our Amazon wish list can greatly impact the lives of our patients. As the weather gets colder, winter clothing and coats are a great need, especially to our newly arrived patients who have never experienced a New England winter. Visa and other preloaded cards empower our clients to make purchases for themselves and their families. Other items listed include daily necessities and other winter items. Any donation, big or small, is greatly appreciated.

Please reach out to Casey at casey.waskiewicz@bmc.org with any questions about donating to the BCRHHR.

We stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine. As civilian areas and hospitals become targets of the assault, we are witnessing crimes against humanity. There is no justification for this indiscriminate attack meant to topple a nation. We pray for an end to this carnage.

For Giving Tuesday this year, please considering giving to the BCRHHR. This year due to COVID-19, we have seen a growing amount of clients who need support from our Center. A donation in the form of a purchase from our Amazon wish list or a gift card can greatly impact the lives of our clients. Visa and other preloaded cards allow our clients to independently make their own clothing and food purchases. Items listed on our Amazon wish list like toiletries, winter clothing, and diapers are distributed to clients regularly based on their need. We greatly appreciate any donation, big or small. Please reach out to Casey at casey.waskiewicz@bmc.org with any additional questions about donating to the BCRHHR.

Good morning, BCRHHR community!

As temperatures start to cool down, we are looking to gather donations of winter items to provide our clients. Many of the clients we see have never experienced a Boston winter, so these items help to prepare them for the cold. Additionally, visa gift cards give our clients the independence to make their own grocery and clothing purchases. Daily use items like toothpaste, soap, and deodorant are always appreciated. We are so grateful for the continued support of our BCRHHR community.

Please see our Amazon wish list for specific items we are looking for: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3T6HVH4WPCGK0?ref_=wl_share

Please email Casey Waskiewicz at casey.waskiewicz@bmc.org with any questions!
