In January, we learned of a single Dad whose wife had abandoned him and his 2 children. He has been struggling to keep a roof over their heads and provide for their daily needs. The children had outgrown all their clothes and that caused even more stress. On January 19th we dropped off several bags of new clothing, and coats for him. Then thanks to a large donation from Barbra of Howell, we were able to provide much more of what they needed. That donation supplied gloves, hats, pajamas, and lots more clothes. The Dad was very happy and shocked that someone would offer such help. His kids had never ever had a new item in their entire lives. This is what makes this project of ours worth every minute!! Our donors from J&J are currently working on a collection of warm weather clothes for them.
-Our newest family is a service couple. The wife has health issues and is expecting a baby boy who is due any minute. They also have a 10 month old girl whose size we still need but the mom is in the hospital. They have nothing for the baby boy. We have some items for them but not enough.
-We also have a pregnant 15 year old due in May. Sex of baby unknown.
-An unemployed couple whose first child, a girl, is due in March.
-A couple afraid of losing their house pregnant with baby girl due in June. They have 2 older boys.
The economy is hurting so many. Please contact us if you can help in any way. We can arrange a pick up that is convenient for you.
