THANK YOU!!

It all started with a phone call from my friend Jenni. "A family needs help, what can we do?" My OWL funds were tapped out but I told her - don't worry, we'll get this done!

Together we got the word out and WOW! WOW! WOW! The community came together. I know none of those involved in making Christmas brighter for this family need or want to be acknowledged but I must say thank you to each and every one of you.

First off Jenni Botto who kicked this whole thing off. Jenni - had an army behind her (Jenni, feel free to send me their names to add to this list!) She even had someone on Freecycle contact her, this woman met Jenni to shop for the family!

In no particular order....

I would also like to thank Julie Schwaiger and Angela Putulowski for helping get the word out to others regarding what we were doing.

*if I missed anyone or misspelled your name, LET ME KNOW!!!

From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!! Merry Christmas to all!

Family in need

So many families are in need all year round - the Holiday's just highlight their needs even more. Imagine for just a moment, your life is OK, not great but things are fine. Then in an instant, the income you depended on (you were living a modest life as it was) was gone. You have rent, clothes, gas, utilities to pay for - oh and it's 23 days until Christmas.... GULP.

Sadly this is a family's reality.

If you are able to help, please email or call me. I'll make sure the funds go to the right place. Whatever you can give will help!

Hoo Hoo!
