After losing my husband, Van, to cancer, I went through what I call "bumps" in my life. I was homeless for 9 months living in a shelter. I didn't know where to turn to for resources. So, 2 1/2 years ago I started a resource cable show called Life Issues on WCAT in Winthrop, MA. Then, just before the 5th anniversary of Van's passing, I wanted to do something special in his memory. I decided to start Those Who Can for Those In Need as a not for profit organization to provide an annual Resource-Volunteer Fair covering the following issues: ELDERLY, LOSING A LOVED ONE, CHILDREN, LOW INCOME & HOMELESS ISSUES. The volunteer part comes in where a lot of these organizations are looking for volunteers and people are looking for volunteer opportunities. Our goal is to maintain and grow this yearly event for the Greater Boston Area. With proper funding we also hope to print a resource directory to distribute locally and make available on this website, maintain and grow this website as an informative resource, and hold one major fundraising event per year. With your help, we can help many people in difficult situations find the resources they need quickly and get back on their feet with dignity.
