We are a family of 4 living in Newton. We have good friends from Barcelona who are looking for a homestay family in the Boston area during this summer for their 16 years old son. Ideally with a son of a similar age, looking for the educational and fun experience of having a foreigner living in their home, they could also have a summer camp together. This family is also offering a stay in Barcelona for next summer (2017). If you are interested, please contact Anna Olivella at 617-314-0087 or aolivellaferran@gmail.com.
Dear fellow Newton Parents:
I hope everyone has had a great start to the New Year.
My name is Demarys and I am the mother of two girls, ages 6 and 12. Catherine is in the 6th grade at Day Middle School. Angie attends the Boston College Campus School due to multiple health problems. My younger daughter cannot walk or talk, is legally blind and fed by a G-tube. She is completely dependent on us. We currently live on Cherry Street in an apartment on the 2nd and 3rd floor of a house. Every day I carry Angie up and down the stairs so that she can attend school. As she gets bigger, this is becoming very difficult for me. I would love to find a first floor apartment as this would be more appropriate for my family at this time. This is the reason that I am sending this letter. I have been looking for apartments in Newton and they are very hard to find. I am hoping that with the help of my community, I can find a new apartment. I have written this letter in Spanish and had it translated into English so I hope this makes sense! Please contact me at damarys2012@icloud.com with any information on apartments to rent.
Thank you!
