SPONSOR A COMPLETE INDEPENDENT LIVING APARTMENT


Each client in our Independent Living program lives in an apartment furnished by Boys' Haven, and receives household supplies to begin setting up their living space. Because of special arrangements with area businesses, we can fully furnish a one bedroom apartment for only $1,150. That price includes furniture (including a bed, dresser, sofa, table, chairs, end tables, lamps, etc.), linens, small electronics (an alarm clock, phone, vacuum, etc.), health items (such as shampoo, toothpaste, etc.), kitchen supplies and other household supplies. For more information about how to help Boys' Haven furnish an apartment for one of our youth, please contact Jim Grote at (502)458-1171, ext. 108, or by e-mail at jgrote@boyshaven.org.

Thank you for your help!
