She was born on December 3, 1908, in Province, Rhode Island, and moved to the old West End in 1941, then to Beacon Hill in 1953.By then; Dorothy had a husband and three sons. 2 each year, Dorothy sends from 38 to 40 packages full of clothing to a small country in Africa called Malawi, it all began 23 years ago when her youngest son, Jordan, was in Malawi in the Peace Corps .there Jordan met a family that came to be known as his {…} parents" 3 Dorothy had been renting out some of her rooms in her house. A man left a suitcase there and she write him about it. After waiting a year for a reply from him, she opened it and decided that those clothes could be used by some of the needy people in Malawi .So she sent them to her sons "{…} parents "that was just the beginning. 4 Dorothy spends about $2,000 a year on postage and sends away clothes collected from neighbors and family. The number of families she is providing for has grown to 70. In a small book Dorothy keeps track of all 70 families. She sorts the clothes according to size and packs them based on each family's needs. Dorothy brings the package to the post office and off it goes. 5 One of the high points of her project was for her to send 76 boxes the year she turned 76. She accomplished this task, and it shows just how much difference one person can make. 6 "It is so gratifying to me when a neighbor comes by with an armful of clothes .I would rather have that than a thousand dollars " these are words of an 88-year-old woman, a heroine .she is a woman who places importance on doing for others, even those she never met. The people of Malawi were kind to her son when he was in the Peace Corps, and she has returned the favor many times more. |
