Winter Coat for Valen
Donation protected
Keplers and Cafe Borrone are Menlo Park landmarks. These landmarks serves as home to an incredible character. Valen is a charming 73 year old man who has been homeless for nearly 30 years.
It JUST got cold in Menlo Park this week and during our regular morning exchanges, which typically go:
Me: "Can I get you anything?" As I walk to get my morning coffee.
Valen: "Hot chocolate, no whip"
As I dropped off his hot chocolate, he said, "I'm real cold". The fleece you see in the photo is thin, old and doesn't do the trick. In his words, "Old K-Mart fleece hoodie don't do the trick during the winter."
He wears an XL and deserves a real winter coat. Any extra funds raised will be given to Valen in cash.
Anyone who frequents borrones will definitely recognize him. Next time say hi. Let's do this!
I'll post photos when I get him the jacket. Thanks so much for your support.
