Boy Scouts Providing Fuel for Life
Photo provided

Orinda Boy Scouts Troop 237, from the Orinda chapter of Grateful Gatherings, helped lift a family out of darkness and into the light. In one day, hard-working Scouts and families were able to furnish a home for a single dad and his four children recently transitioning out of homelessness. This family has never had a home to feel comfortable or safe. Now they don't have to sleep on broken beds and can have a family dinner together at one table. The only girl with four boys in the home, the 11-year old daughter sobbed when she saw her room fit for a teen girl. As the family hugged, the eldest son said, "Thank you, this is going to give us fuel!" Troop 237 thanks Oakland-based, nonprofit organization Grateful Gatherings (gratefulgatherings.org) and the support of the community and troop families for allowing them the opportunity to give this family a new start.
