A pick up truck, an 18' trailer, and 4 cars all filled with furniture and household items caravaned down a dark street in Pewaukee, watching for the address of Octobers Client. We didn't need an address...as we neared the house 4 children waving and jumping up and down, and shouting 'they're here!!' showed us the way! Their excitement never stopped as they held the doors, and helped us carry items into their apartment...along with the 6 volunteers, and the 6 caseworkers who all worked to unload. Their jumping never stopped...they couldn't contain their excitement as they watched the bunk bed, and trundle bed being put together, and beds made in the bedroom they all share! All so excited about having beds!
More donations then ever before....I would come home from work and my front porch would be filled with sheets, blankets and comforters for 5 beds! My living room has not been used so much in the 25 years we have lived here! It looked like Bed Bath and Beyond! Those 4 children slept that night wrapped in the love you sent them...thank you for your generosity...and for giving them a Lake Country Welcome!!
