Melodi donated 2 cribs which were in mint condition. 1 went to a mother who's baby has been sleeping in a stroller for over a month. She and her older son are going through some rough times and just went on food stamps. We also donated some infant clothes for her baby girl.

Donated about 30 hardcover books to a senior citizens library. The woman said all they had were Harlequin Romances. Now they have cook books, autobiographies and gardening books. Normally, we only take children's books. But because this woman asked a while ago if we had books, we accepted them when they were offered. Most were like brand new.
Donated 1 ironing board to a woman who still irons her husbands shirts.
Lastly, we donated some dresses, skirts and make up for a woman who is trying to start over and look for a job. She asked if we had any costume jewelery she could wear with her new outfits, but so far no one has given us any.
As you can see we have been quite busy since January 2010. Also please know that none of this could have been done without the generosity of others. Thank you to our wonderful donors!!!
