Chapter 2 is place to buy Inexpensive Clothes in Miami and needs our help to continue putting clothes on womens’ backs April 26, 2009

I’m not going to beat around the bush. Chapter 2 is a very cute boutique located in Downtown Miami that needs our support. They sell quality and brand name clothes for less than $40. Some are used and some still have their original price tags on them!

They are on the brink of closing up shop and this store has helped many women get back to the workforce by having access to a place that sells clothes for an affordable price.

During a cocktail reception at the store, this one woman came forward to thank Chapter 2 and had the courage to tell her story in front of everyone. She stated how she was addicted to drugs for many years and after rehab she didnt have much money but was able to get clothes on her back because of this store. Today, she works as a counselor for women who are addicted to drugs.

Chapter 2 is a vehicle for women to have an opportunity to find affordable clothing and sustain  hope.
