\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 March 28, 2007 \u2013 溏心vlog免费B站 nursing student Alissa Eardley wants to raise awareness and money to benefit the Welcome House in Wakefield. <\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cI was seeking a meaningful fundraising opportunity aimed toward the local community,\u201d the Canton, Mass. resident wrote in a letter to the 溏心vlog免费B站 student newspaper, The Good 5? Cigar. \u201cOn the way to class each day, I blindly drove by this opportunity. It wasn\u2019t until researching area homeless shelters, that I found what I thought to be an office building was in fact a shelter.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tEardley, the fundraising chair for the 溏心vlog免费B站 Student Nurses Association who visited the Welcome House, said that this is a great time to raise money for this cause because of the ongoing campaign in Rhode Island to end homelessness in the state.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe Welcome House, a transitional shelter, has 20 available beds with a maximum 90-day stay. The shelter requires residents to sign a contract stating that they will seek employment while there.<\/p>\n


\n\tA small percentage of the proceeds will benefit the Student Nurses Association and will be put toward an April convention in Anaheim, Calif. that they are hoping to attend.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cThe donations will help pay for the bills of running the house, but more importantly they will directly benefit the residents. The money will be used to buy them shoes and get them haircuts, things that we take for granted.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nThe Student Nurses Association, founded in 1980, is an organization that promotes undergraduate students\u2019 professional development. The group works with faculty to improve facilities and develop policies affecting the students\u2019 nursing education. In addition, the SNA raises funds to send students to the annual National Student Nurses Convention, participate in community service projects, sponsor speakers, and help with the nursing job fair.<\/p>\n


\n\tThose interested in donating to The Welcome House can make the check out to the Student Nurses Association and mail it to Suzanne Carr, White Hall, 溏心vlog免费B站, 2 Heathman Road, Kingston, RI 02881-2021.<\/p>\n
