We would like to thank our friends at The Wasilko Group - Howard Hanna Real Estate Services for their generous donation to our Capital Campaign. Gregg Wasilko and his awesome team are sponsoring the Dining Room in our new building!
The Wasilko Group has some of Cleveland's top real estate agents and are known for their honesty, integrity and experience. The team is a reflection of Gregg Wasilko's philosophy of client driven service and helping make people's lives better. That is surely evident in his ongoing financial support of Blessing House and his team's collective gift to our campaign.
We are excited that Gregg's team is sponsoring our dining room, where our children will be fed, where dinner time conversations will be held and where friendships will be formed.
Thank you, Gregg Wasilko and friends for your generous support!
John and Karen have been generous supporters of Blessing House for many years as well as ambassadors for our cause. John and Karen are sponsoring our "Garden Room," and are excited to "Be a Part of the Heart" that is Blessing House.
Listen to their story:
"A few years back I had the privilege of visiting sister Mary and Donna at Blessing House. The minute I walked through the door I felt welcomed, appreciated and loved. That’s what the kids at Blessing House feel- “welcomed “into a family away from their biological family. “Appreciated“ for who they are. Sister and Donna find the best qualities in each of these kids and are able to make each one feel valued. “Loved, “ the byproduct of feeling welcomed and appreciated ...you can just sense that the kids feel loved by the smiles on their little faces.
"Many kids have returned to Blessing House as young adults. Maybe they are trying to recapture a wonderful time in their lives. Feeling welcomed , appreciated and loved is a wonderful thing."
John and Karen, thank you for all you have done for our children and families. Thank you for helping us to shovel our way to success. We appreciate you!
It was almost 16 years ago that Helen Woodward came to visit Blessing House. We were having an open house to celebrate our opening and Helen was part of a group from Community Foundation of Lorain County that came to see what this new house was all about. Helen fell in love with Blessing House and continued to support it for many years.
Helen’s family has built many buildings in Lorain County. Her father and her husband both owned construction companies and Helen was active in them. She says, “I love construction!” She loved to go to the sites and watch the buildings go up. So Helen was excited when we brought her pictures of our groundbreaking and new foundation and personally thanked her for her financial donation to our capital campaign.
Helen, thank you for agreeing to “Be Part of the Heart” that is Blessing House!
You, too, can help us “shovel” our way to success by making a financial contribution to our campaign. For more information, contact Donna Humphrey or Sr. Mary Berigan at 440-240-1851.
