HAVE A SAFE LABOR DAY WEEKEND!

Remember if a fire company is collecting money on the road,spare alittle change.The money they
get actually goes to their gear.So they can risk their lives saving someone elses in a fire.

Thanks a bunch

Thank you Melodi from Jackson for the carload of Summer clothes.Thanks a bunch Debbie for picking them up.

Our Business Coordinator and Seamstress

A mothers' tears

 Thanks to Bonnie of Toms River Freddie is now looking forward to going to school.He said "wow i am going to be so cool now"".His mom was overwhelmed with happy tears.Bonnie did not only buy him new shoes but shirts.

A NEW REQUEST

A mom who has several children would like some items for her Autistic boy. Because he is not potty  train although they have been trying for yrs to teach him. They need the largest size diapers for boys possible. He is 5 yrs old but wears size 8 stretch pants  and size 6-8 shirts. Out of all her children she seems to never be able to afford the expense of caring for her autistic son. Between special classes, doctors appointments and special sensory toys. Not counting some equipment and medicine to keep him calmer and occupied. As most autistic children he loves to run. And tires everyone out.Anyone who can donate a few clothes or diapers for this child we would be more than glad to schedule a pick up.

A BOYS STORY

I will call this boy FREDDIE
Freddie always liked school.He grew up with his classmates.And many were his neighbors and friends.This September he will be starting high school.Freddie does not want to go.He is already dreading it.When we asked Freddie why he did not want to go he explained to us ,when he went to the other school.It was ok his clothes were old or sometimes tight.He knew everybody there.Some of the other kids had worse clothes then he did even.But,going to high school there will be a lot of people he has never met.And he said" I don't want to get picked on by everybody for how I am dressed."I will not go to school I will play hookey everyday"We asked him what do you need to feel comfortable to go to your new school."well I need a pair of sneakers size 10.5  and not old worn ones from a yard sale like my mom always gets.I need some jeans that weren't last years and they are to short.I need maybe 3 cool shirts and a back pack with stuff."
Freddie is a very bright boy but,definately seems determine not to go to high school.We have a back pack and school supplies for him.We even have 2 pairs of jeans ,what we don't have is some sneakers and a few cool shirts.Freddie wears a large in shirts.If anyone would like to donate so we can make Freddie feel more comfortable to go to school in September please let us know.There are many children who feel like Freddie.And we wish we could help them all. We would like to atleast help this boy to go to school in style so he can perhaps continue his education and become a productive member of society.

Beautiful Sky for todays delivery

John donates a few items

This beautiful crib was donated by John our volunteer who helps us at Christmas.After working all night he was kind enough to deliver it.
Below is a huge,heavy,awkward painting that he said I could give to Fr John,lol.I said"it would take up our whole wall.I was hoping John was kidding since we live in a very small place.Either way Dorothy is going to keep it in her storage area until she finds someone with a big wall that might want it.

Todays drop off to Dorothy

We had a car full so Debbie was kind enough to put the rest in her truck.
Dorothy will be delivering these items to the moms who are having babies
before end of September.
The huge painting will go in her storage.They could always use it to cover up any wall with a flaw.
