VOLUNTEER SUSAN in ARIZONA
Why did you choose Project Night Night for your service project?
I was at a point in my life, where I wanted to do something to "give back" but wasn't sure what. When I read
the story in the AZ Republic, April of 2006,I got "goose bumps!” I just knew this was "meant to be" and that
my 12 year old daughter could also be involved.
What 3 words best describe your experience?
Rewarding; Challenging; Appreciated.
Was there a memorable moment during your service project?
I was at one of my Shelter's in Mesa, AZ. My Contact explained to me how a small child sat for hours in a
car, while the parents were being tested for drugs. They had to "be clean" in order to spend the night. The
baby was so good and she told me she gave the child a Tote bag. "Was it O.K. to hand out a Tote?" asked
Nancy. I answered, "Of course, this is what it's all about". She hugged me and said how the baby loved the
Tote and what was inside. That's why I do this, putting smiles on innocent faces. I left the parking lot in tears.
What was your nighttime comfort item as a child?
A soft,small "cloth doll" for a shot time. It was baby blue and white, about 4 inches long.

The idea of homeless children going to sleep in different places every night without even a
