What would we do without you?...........
Over the years you
have helped us with home maintenance –
what would we do without you? You
have helped with building a wheel chair ramp, cutting the grass and planting
shrubs and flowers – what would we do without you? You
have helped decorate our home for Christmas and fulfill several Wish List items
– what would we do with out you? You
have become Big Sisters for our residents, you have volunteered your time to
show and help with sewing and art and craft projects – what would we do without you?
Thank
you from the bottom of our hearts. We
are truly blessed with your compassion and support for all of our special needs.

Chosen Vision benefits from Lansing Christian School (LCS)
Service Week.
“Wow, what a volunteer work program LCS has”, board
member Bob Tallian said. “The LCS
group was out for three days painting and cleaning Chosen Vision, our group home
in Grand Ledge. What they
accomplished in those three days would have taken us three months”.
Activities included painting two of the residents rooms, power washing
the vinyl siding and deck, planting shrubbery and general overall “spring
cleanup”.
Service Week gives LCS students an opportunity to apply
what they learn in the classroom by meeting the needs of others.
Joann Gould, Chosen Vision’s House Manager, said “teaching children
to give of themselves is a labor of love. I
was personally blessed to work with such an awesome group of kids… the whole
experience brought tears to my eyes”.
Habitat for Humanity was gracious as always to

over was the designated nailer - she is 82 years old......
