The first November Family

We delivered to a famiy with a 6 & 4 year old sisters and a 10 year old brother.  They needed beds, sheets and comforters for the children.  The girls share this room, and the excitement as we put the beds together, and they saw their matching comforters was so much fun!  The 10 year old brother was so excited when we set his bed up in the other room, to find that we did not pull out a pink and purple comforter for him! 
They  were the  sweetest family, the children were all so excited, and parents so
grateful.

Second November Family


A single mom and her 10 year old daughter.  They live in Nashotah.  I stopped the caseworker from sharing the story because I knew immediately it would haunt me.  We delivered today, and wanted to make this little girls bedroom very special. In a few days after sending out the newsletter,  5 different donors dropped off what she had asked for.  What is even more amazing is it all went together! First a beautiful bed quilt, with a matching rug and lamp in pale greens and pink..,a bookcase and chair, beanie baby stuffed animals, art supplies and books.   This  little girl said her room looked like a magazine photgraph!  The room  that was empty when we arrived is now filled with love, and trust me this little 10 year old deserves it!   The living room furniture was beautiful, and she was so grateful for a dresser.  She just kept saying how blessed they were, and that she didn't know there were people like YOU in this world...
