To think that these women and children had to be traumatized once again - that they were once again left with nothing - made me want to help.
I belong to a mother's group in my town, and we received an email from one of the managers requesting help. Maybe you want to help too:
One of the shelter managers suggested gift cards which will help these women purchase basic necessities if/when they are placed in other temporary shelters. Specifically, she recommended Target, Stop & Shop or other major grocery stores. Anything--even $25--will help.
If you are able, please send donations to :

I have a couple of stop and slop gift certs I keep for a 'rainy day' that I'm going to pop in the mail. It's not much, but it's a start. Thanks for letting me know. I read the NY times because I'm a snob! :-)
This is just horrible. It's not like there are nearly enough safe places for women anyway.
And now this.
Thanks for the info.
Wow, thanks for mentioning this. I will see what I can do.
I will most certainly donate to this cause. I'll probably send a gift card for a nationwide store because I don't live in Boston, but my family is all from the area.
