BRATTLEBORO — The last four weeks at Melrose Terrace in West Brattleboro have been incredibly heart-lifting and heart-wrenching. Our hearts have been lifted in so many ways by so many of you that it would take this entire page to list (and then I'd still leave someone out)!
Your work has been gracious, patient, and loving. You have cared for each resident and carried their belongings and their spirits through this time of destruction, dislocation, and loss.
The Brattleboro Housing Authority's tiny staff of 15 could never have accomplished what you - more than 200 volunteers and employees - have in the last few weeks.
Melrose is coming back! It will once again be the lovely peaceful place called home for over 80 of Brattleboro's elderly and near-elderly disabled low- income residents. For all you have done and will continue to do, we will be eternally grateful.
