We tried to collect enough funds to buy the van from Lake Country School to give to the woman with the 7 children. We were not able to collect enough to buy the van but.....the father of one of the Lake Country School parents heard about our grassroots effort to help this woman and he donated his used Buick Park Avenue. We used the funds we collected toward the van to help her pay for insurance on the car and this morning we delivered to the car to her. Needless to say she was very touched by all the generosity that has come her way.
Employees from Logic Product Development, Johnson Companies and Martin Bastian heard about this effort and they too organized collections for her in their offices. We delivered another car and van load of food, clothes, presents, toys, books, giftcards etc. to her last weekend. I would like to help her find more suitable housing. That will take some work. Again, thanks to all the list members that helped this woman with clothes, toys, furniture etc. Have a Happy Holidays everyone.
