Shelter guests often have many things to worry about in addition to not having a place to sleep and be protected from the elements. For people living in several of Boston’s shelters the harshness of everyday life is softened each month as our grantee, Shelter Music Boston, and its founder, Julie Leven, and her fellow artists present beautiful classical concerts-music that soothes both the heart and the mind.
The guest who recently penned the note above speaks of her fear of losing her belongings or the possible violence that may erupt-both dismissed as she absorbed the sounds of the violins and realized that she could sleep there in comfort.
Truly a tzedakah investment that makes our heart sing, too.
