Touring the different affordable housing available to low income seniors allowed me to understand the importance of affordable housing. Not only are seniors more prone to being homeless due to the little amount of money they earn, but when they do go to apply for affordable housing it is as though they are being punished for being poor. Affordable housing should be accessible to all who need it without having to go through numerous obstacles to get housed.
I also really enjoyed our Love, Connect, Care event. Putting together the boutique was a bit time consuming, but also very rewarding. I loved that so many people were willing to donate clothes, jewelry, and shoes. It was wonderful to see how excited people were to get free clothes. Some of them even thought we were charging and when they found out the clothes were free their faces lit up. Part of our station was also bouquet making. People absolutely loved the bouquets and they went quite fast.
The rest of the event was also incredibly wonderful. Everyone was so excited about the baked goods. The brownies were so popular they went very fast. One lady even loved the cookies so much she was asking who made them so she could thank them. People also really enjoyed the painting station and it was great to see what they created. While the conversation table did not get too much traffic, there were a few people who stopped by. The event as a whole was a success and it was lovely to see everyone so happy.
