Making A Differance

This just came in from our volunteer Peachess.
A reminder of how we all can make a differance
and change someones life,in not only a big way but;a
small way as well.Peachess picked up a
double stroeller from one of her regular donars-Diana in Burlington.
Peachess decided to keep the stroeller in the back of her truck
in a construction bag,until she saw someone with 2 little ones
in need.(Peachess sometimes works in Camden
and Trenton areas,she visits places that the police don't
even like to visit).
Days later while visiting a house for work
she saw a woman walking on the sidewalk struggling.
The woman had 1 small child in an old beat up umbrella stroeller
and another on a small toddler tricycle.The child on the
bike was crying hysterically and wanted to
be in the umbrella stroeller.It turned out due to a
tragic event in their lives her mom allowed her
adult sister and neice to move in along
with a teen brother.The woman said the child on the bike
was having sharing issues and was very upset that their
daily walk was a constant reminder of how difficult
it was for her to have her cousin there.Everyday was
a tear fest when it came to taking a walk.
With new expenses there was barely enough money
already and surely not enough to solve the
stroeller issue.But the solution found her,in the
form of a donated stroeller.If Peachess had
arrived at any other time she never would of known-
it was meant to be.As Peachess drove off the 2
little girls were happily climbing into the stroeller
for a much more enjoyable walk.
Reality is this might of been a small differance
to us but not to the mom.That is why we do what
we do ,and continue doing what we do.
Without donations this childs tears would
not have turned into a SMILE.
