what your dollars have purchased


well, lets see... eleven zero degrees F (-18 degrees C) sleeping bags, 3 flashlights, and one amazing backpack filled with a coffee pot (perculator) cups, plates, bowls, a pot and a frying pan (the Backpack is part of the wedding present for Frog and Michelle so they can better care for their "family" of 9!) We also got burners, some "personal" items, and some food. The wedding is this Sunday and I am SO thrilled to be a part of it!

We could not have gone on this shopping spree without your help! THANK YOU! We so appreciate it, and I guarantee our friends will as well. This is such a relief to me... you have no idea. Even last night it was 31 degrees F, -2 C, and my heart was broken and afraid for their safety. These sleeping bags aren't going to solve the homeless problem in Kansas City, but it will make a HUGE difference for 11 of those that we know and love! We will get more for there are many more we know and love! If you would like to be a part of getting more of these sleeping bags (roughly 40 -50.00 USD each) or socks, gloves, long-johns etc, let me know, and I will tell you the easiest way to send help.

THANK YOU!
