A Few Stories

We had so many people feel moved to bring things and the people who needed things showed up at just the right time.

A couple who had twin 3 month old girls showed up minutes after I put a baby swing in the lawn. They said that both the babies only liked to sleep in the baby swing and they only had one. Two pregnant mothers were in need of cribs and we had two. A woman from our neighborhood had lost everything left with clothing and all the dishes and pots and pans she could carry. Neighborhood kids came to hang out and eat lunch. They left with toys and clothes and then brought their parents back.

We were adamant about not accepting any money for anything. Donations were not accepted. Except for the one little old lady that would not take no for an answer. She got very upset that Amy wouldn't take her dollar, so she finally accepted it graciously. Mike ran into a homeless guy the next day and passed it on.




We are looking forward to next years event. If you would like to be involved please send us an email. The address is listed below. We would love to hear your responses also, please post your comments on this blog. Thanks!
