If not for the excellent training, the excellent performance and the quick deployment of the AED by Officer Burgos, this individual may have lost his life; but instead his life was saved. Thanks to the community foundation for the donation that allowed us to equip our officers with these life-saving devices (AED) in our community.

Clara’s Closet
The Greater Milan Area Community Foundation reached out to me asking if I would want to share a story. A story of endurance, love, and real compassion. I was given the opportunity to sit down and talk to Melissa Buie. She is the creator of Clara’s Closet located in Milan Michigan. Melissa has a heart for children unlike any I’ve seen in a long time. She goes above and beyond to help children out who need it the most, through giving of her time, resources, and her heart. What an amazing story that I hope you’ll enjoy.
Clara’s Closet is located in Milan Michigan. If you would like to donate and or help out please contact Melissa at buiem@milanareaschools.org
