Happy Feet!

Going Where You Think You Have No Time to Go

Life, inevitably, sends us places we don’t really want to go.   For some of us, it’s that visit to the dentist for that unwanted, but oh so warranted, root canal.   For others, it’s probably the family wedding you don’t want to attend, the off-site work at an unknown place, the transfer to a small town.   For most people, however, it’s that hospital admission – having to be admitted in hospital for an ailment you never saw coming- the expenses involved, the seemingly pointless days spent in hospital, the lack of income during those unproductive days in hospital.

Furniture Where We Need it Most

There are times when a table means so much more than just a place where you pile books and papers up.  When a chair is so much more than just another seat. Thank you Sridhar & Shanthi Sreenivasan, for giving us furniture that has so much emotional value, for giving us things that mean so much to you personally - for a greater cause.
