Make a Difference: New London Housing Authority
Who: Aleisha, a single mother of three children.
Agency: New London Housing Authority.
Their situation: An upbeat and positive resident on the property since 2012, Aleisha will nonetheless have a hard time providing her family with day-to-day necessities, much less holiday gifts.
What to give: Her oldest child is on the autism spectrum and would love an iPad to take advantage of apps that do so much to improve quality of life for those afflicted with the condition. Aleisha would appreciate Wal-Mart gift cards to buy clothing for all three children, as well — and if Santa provided Mom with something from Bed Bath and Beyond, it would be a truly merry Christmas.
To donate: Call Patty at the New London Housing Authority at (860) 443-2851. Items may be dropped off at the authority offices, 78 Walden Ave., New London.
