Ok, so, I'm not getting quite the response I was hoping for with SUPPORT OUR TROOPS drive. I may not be able to hold an actual drive to collect items without any support. However, I will still send as many care packages as I, myself can put together for our troops, so they can receive before Christmas. If anyone wants to help, there is a paypal account that can be donated to and all proceeds will go directly to filling boxes for our Servicemen and Women.
This evening I made a large donation to a very sweet young lady who just got out of an abusive relationship, is 8 months pregnant and has a two year old boy. I was able to donate several baby girl items and also several boys clothes, toys and shoes. With the new baby and twin boys, this was an easy and very fulfilling donation for me. The young lady was so sweet and so very thankful.
So, as I continue in my efforts to help others in need, I am, at all times, accepting donations. I can even pick them up from you if needed. I want to be able to help people who are struggling.
I am very thankful for my life and everyone and everything in it. But, I can honestly say, I know what it is like to go through tough times alone with children. I can't even begin to imagine some of the things people go through everyday, just trying to make it through the day. Life is tough and I am going to help make it just a little easier on everyone that I can.
My dryer went out the other day. I didn't exactly want to come up with hundreds of dollars to buy a new one, so I did some craigslist searching and found one for $20. I called the lady, about my age, and she was just a sweetheart. My husband and a friend picked it up. She came out in a wheelchair. She was confined to her wheelchair. She bought a new dryer and when they installed it, they put the old dryer in the garage in front of her ramp on her van so she could not get in her. She was just so thankful to have Casey move it, so she could get in her van again. These are people I admire greatly. These are the type of people that give me motivation to help other people.
