MEET Janene Freitas, Pauli Herbert, Linda Barisic , Cheryl Spetrino of Laguna Beach

After reading an article in StuNewsLaguna, long-time Laguna Beach resident, Janene Freitas, reached out to Tony’s Treehouse. She & her ladies card group wanted to participate in our 23rd annual Holiday Adopt A Family Program. After receiving their adopted families “wish list”, Janene and her card group quickly hit the streets to shop.  We had the pleasure of meeting Janene in person when she delivered bags of beautifully wrapped gifts to our drop-off location.

The very next month, I received an email from Janene stating that she and the ladies of the card group were inspired to continue to assist this wonderful family!

They decided to take a collection during their card game and send a gift card to the family, helping with unexpected needs. What a wonderful & thoughtful idea!

She and the ladies of the card group have continued good deeds for their ‘adopted’ family. They ‘pass the hat’ on their Tuesday game days and send the Warren family a monthly gift card to help with groceries, home needs, and clothing. 

After 23 years of operating Tony’s Treehouse, I am still in awe of the kind souls that come forward to help those in need.

Thank you to Janene & friends, to all our supporters, donors and volunteers who keep our little grass-roots group afloat.

The Warner family sends their gratitude…
