Little girls grow quickly :-)

A request has been made for a little girl who has just graduated out of her size 2T clothes to size 3T.  Her Mother is not in the financial position to purchase clothes for her right now, so anyone who would be able to provide used 3T clothes, it would be very much appreciated. 
Email me @ frankandmary@aol.com if you can help.

Card Shower

Amy, a fellow AOL journaler, asked that I post this: 
A friend of mine is about to deliver her 6th baby (a boy) completely alone and then go home alone to half a dozen kids. The father left them a long while ago and the majority of her family won't speak to her because she has biracial children.  She home schools them all because her neighborhood is bad and the public schools are scary. She has no one except her kids and this pregnancy has been rough.  I'd like to give her a card shower. If anyone wants, please send her a card of encouragement, congratulations or a "new baby" card(or a small "new baby" gift~ add on from Mary ;-).  I think getting snail mail would cheer her up and make this pregnancy/delivery a little more special.  I'd like to bombard her with as many cards as possible.  If you'd like to join in, please mail them out as soon as possible this week so they all start arriving at the same time. Just write "card shower" somewhere on the envelope.  :-)  Thanks!
 
Email frankandmary@aol.com for the address.

Yup, we're still here

Several people have emailed me over the past month to ask why there is no activity on The Giving Tree. 

No one has requested or offered anything.  I know in this economy there must be some in need, but I have often found that people in the most need are so reluctant to ask.

So consider this a little reminder :-). We are here & willing to help....just email me.

Any extra's to share?

 
Dear Cindy,
I have a request for the Giving Tree. As, later this summer I'll be getting my own little kitchenette area, son is redoing the basement area, & I'll be moving down there. I'll explain all about it in my upcoming entry in my main journal, when I come off journal hiatus in April.
But I have nothing for a kitchen. :(  , & since the floors will be linoleum, I'll need some throw rugs. Plus a couple bedspreads would be nice, as I have one, but it's very thick & wintery. So, I was hoping a few J-Landers might have some things they no longer need. ????
Maybe you could post in the Giving Tree?
TY Sug
 
Spring Cleaning Time Coming Soon!
I'm in need of a couple Qn or King sz bedspreads, & some throw rugs (with rubber nonskid backing). Also, kitchen stuff (utensils, dishes, silverware, pot holders, dish towels, etc). I don't need a lot, it's only me, but a few things would be nice. If you have any to discard, please email me before you toss them out.
TY,
Sugar

Thank you all so very much.

Deployed Soldeir Loses Home..Can you help?

www.soldiersangels.org is a group of angels that supports our deployed troops. I am signed up for an emergency notification of major help needed. Here is the copy of the email I recieved: (I have removed the mailing address to send money to or gift cards, if you would like the mailing address please email me at CanyonSunGirl@aol.com )

Dear Soldiers Angels:

We have a very serious request this evening, we have a Deployed Soldier (J*** D***) that was on his tour in Iraq when he was called home due to the recent Tornadoes. His home was blown away, and they lost everything they had.

They didn't even have anything thing to clean up all they have is the cement slab where the house used to be. I have seen pictures and there is absolutly nothing left.

The Military has given him 2 weeks leave to take care of the situation and this is the email I received from Donna Williams the AR. Team Leader who went to see what they could do to help

"We went to Atkins yesterday and met with them to give them the Walmart card and Justin made it into town Saturday night.  The military is only letting him stay for 2 weeks but they are grateful for that.  This couple is amazing!  The tornado picked up their home and exploded it then carried off everything they had.  They found a few articles of clothing, a few photos, the back to her recliner and the door to their refrigerator.  That\'s it.  They didn't even find so much as a fork from their kitchen. 

The Dixon's are country folk who farm and work hard - they are definitely not lazy and were just speechless when they rec'd the gift card.  They are so thankful for it and wanted ya'll to know. 

Thank you both so much and we are going to get busy on fundraising here in Arkansas!!

Donna"

Soldiers Angels sent some money for a gift card, but it is a drop in the bucket compared to what they need. The Address is right below this and there is a PayPal String right below the address if anyone wants to use that.

On this paypal string just remember that sometimes in transit the underline disappears so if you want to use it make sure all of it is underlined or it won't work

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=donations%40soldiersangels%2eorg&item_name=Seavia%20Dixon&no_shipping=0&no_note=1&tax=0&currency_code=USD&lc=US&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF&charset=UTF%2d8

Anything you can do for this deserving Soldier and his family would be greatly appreciated

Sincerely,

Bonnie Averett, VP                                                                                                                                                       Soldiers Angels Org.
