We have used the books to discuss different topics and it has really help us improve our communication since they are younger and I am obviously much older. We have really gotten to know one another so much more. Thank you, Belle Reve Thanks to Belle Reve and the monthly groceries that I am now receiving, my concern about having to decide between my medicine or buy food is not what it was. We get bagged groceries from the Belle Reve pantry, enough to last me for several weeks and it includes the staples that we all need at home. It may not seem like much, but this year I was diagnosed with cancer and had to have an operation, so leaving my apartment to travel to the store to shop has also been a challenge, and Belle Reve helped take care of that problem as well (Im lucky, the pantry is located on my same floor!)
