This season...As always, you amaze me by being you. This season I get to see the generosity of a whole community come together and support the women at my Shelter. SportsRadio 610 did a week long drive for us and raised somewhere in the range of $50,000 for us. The first day they focused on supplies (mostly diapers) as the new influx of abused women and their children brought many new borns. On Tuesday they were brought to the Shelter and as I walked in the door I was told how much; the stress and strain of things at the Shelter and having to figure out where things were coming from had been eating at me apparently because I burst into tears when they told me what had been donated. I am always grateful to the community for supporting us but this was so huge. We may not have to let anyone go this year because of this. Wow! Sorry had to share.<br /><br />Did I mention you're awesome!Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16038740547034882445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-15573017163540687312012-12-08T09:45:34.414-06:002012-12-08T09:45:34.414-06:00Nothing is by accident - you were right where you ...Nothing is by accident - you were right where you needed to be - in line.

Dani is right - it doesn't always have to be monetary it can something as small as helping someone who is struggling with grocery bags - it takes only a few minutes to offer to help them carry the groceries and help them put them in their car....just a few minutes!<br /><br />i am happy to say that our nearest tiny town is full of helpful people....people are always smiling and helping each other. i guess you would fit right in here 1st Man!!!<br /><br />again, good job. your friend,<br />kymberkymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-53189528180600216312012-12-08T05:30:30.710-06:002012-12-08T05:30:30.710-06:00What a great blog post.

I haven't had this kind of experience but I've been in a restaurant where there are police officers and I've paid for their meals and asked not to be identified. I've been sending boxes to Socks for Sandy. This one lady has been collecting boxes of these things & then takes it to the hurricane relief center. This one lady! Here is the site if any are interested.. https://www.facebook.com/TheOfficialSocksForSandy I commend you and hope that you have a great weekend. <br />Joanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17079320105957390525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-40776617285956306752012-12-07T18:01:10.342-06:002012-12-07T18:01:10.342-06:00What a touching story.
