From the Greg Hill Foundation: “On November 8, 2012 the apartment of Bernie (Bernadine) Gates was burned down to the
ground. Bernadine is from Bourne, MA and is a single mother of two little girls, 9 year old Cassidy and 7 year old Corynn. Bernie graduated from Bourne High School in 1988, is a full time student at Cape Cod Community College, who works several waitressing jobs to make ends meet. They lived quite modestly, but then this fire happened, she and the girls lost everything they owned in the fire. All they had were the clothes they were wearing that day. They are now looking for a new place to live.”
Please help the Greg Hill Foundation by spreading the word and supporting this family in need. Please visit The Greg Hill Foundation Website for more information.
