TODAYS DROP OFF

Left house around 10 am.Arrived at 1st drop off by 11;30 am.FR John had to have his WAWA Coffee first.When we arrived there we met a woman carrying a 5 month old baby boy into the house.Boy timing is everything.When the woman realized who we were she was so excited.She had been asking for help for sometime and thought no one was going to come through for her and her 2 sons.This is her story.After 7 yrs living in an abusive situation she finally had enough one day and decided she had to leave.Her 8 yr old son and her left with only the clothes on their back.Leaving behind toys,cable tv,Ipods,computers and nice furniture.They moved into a shelter.The place was over crowded but atleast they had each other.She now has a place for her and her children to live and some mattresses for beds and a few pieces of furniture.A tv that is not hooked up to cable .They can watch videos on it however.The toys that they have will be the ones that they open on Christmas.They need household items such as silverware,toiletries,
blankets,towels,pots n pans,pot holders,bowls etc..She is determined to make it.And we think with alittle help she will do just fine.
Next drop off 12;30 noon met the dad at the door.He is a single dad raising his son the best that he knows how.He works seasonal and in the Winter he struggles with the bills,especially to heat the house.Like the woman before him he was overwhelmed with the items we gave.
Arrived home around 2;30 pm earliest in awhile. Now I am going to take a nap.
