ORR students Arissa and Deianeira Underhill were honored by the M.O. LIFE, Inc. foundation for their community service endeavors that have been ongoing for several years. The two ladies were honored at a gala at White’s in Westport.
The sisters have donated to charities such as local food pantries, animal shelters, Reach Out and Read Literacy Foundation, We Give Books Foundation, Camp Sunshine, and many more that would be timely to name.
The donations were made possible with monies the sisters have earned babysitting, birthday and Christmas gifts, consignment of outgrown toys & clothes, and allowances. They have also volunteered at many local community events within the Massachusetts area.
The girls were each honored with two seperate Senate Citations, a Citation from the House of Representatives, a Citation from the Governor, a Citation from the Bristol Sheriff’s office, a Citation from the Town of Fairhaven and a beautifully engraved wall plaque from M.O. Life, Inc. Foundation.
Both feel that they were humbled by the acknowledgement of their kind deeds, but stated that it is not why they do it. Both girls were born with their own health issues and felt that through their own experiences they wanted to help others who were less fortunate than themselves.
