happy being told we are going to receive a donated van to make pick ups and drop offs easier
sad finding out they lied
happy someone offered a car load of toys for Christmas all we have to do is go to the location to pick them up
sad finding out that the location is really an abandoned house and no one their with toys
happy several people offering to wrap gifts for us for the holidays
sad no one did (thank goodness for our dependable Lorie
happy someone has baby items for us and will be meeting us at a designated spot
sad after we arrive there the person calls us on cell phone and said they changed their minds,they think they will try to sell them thru craigslist
happy someone offered us a wheel chair for a handicapped person
sad they gave us one that was broken
happy received 2 giant trash bags of childrens clothes
sad to realize after sorting through the bags most of the clothes were worse than what you would find at the dump,so much wasted time
happy that someone asks Fr John to go to the hospital in an email to give prayers for a friend
sad to find out that person had died
REGARDLESS OF HAPPY AND SAD MOMENTS WE CONTINUE TO KEEP TRYING TO MAKE A DIFFERANCE IN PEOPLES LIVES.BUT,WOULDN'T IT BE SO NICE IF PEOPLE WOULD ACTUALLY COME THROUGH WHEN THEY OFFER INSTEAD OF WASTING OUR TIME.ESPECIALLY SINCE OTHERS DEPEND ON THEIR GENEROSITY.
*note-our volunteer Debbie had received a nice wheel chair from the Elks club in Bricktown so we were able to actually give the handicapped person a wheel chair they were able to use
