All those in the spirit of women’s week I just wanted to put two links out there that really help women in the city of Lowell. The first helps women with suits for job interviews and it is www.suitabilityma.org and the second program that helps women furnish their new apartments or homes and provides for baby furniture for new mothers is www.lowellwishproject.org. The wish site has a link to a program called www.charityblast.com where you can enter the charity you want to shop for. (enter “wish list”) I was amazed that my new Keurig coffee maker sent $22 to lowell wish, my laptop $20, my airline $2, etc… This is a list of things I was go buy going to buy anyways!
