Hi ladies! We have a few things going on right now.
We have a mom-to-be who is in Tampa w/ complications & she will be there the remainder of the pregnancy...3 months! Her husband is having to drive back & forth from Sebring so he can work. They have the necessities but asked if we could get them a gas card. They don't want money, just a gas card. He said that gas was really taking a toll on their finances. If you can donate $1, $5, anything, please let me know by the Wed the 19th, so we can help this husband continue to go see his wife in Tampa. I will come pick it up if I need to or you can drop it off at a central location & I'll pick it up there. Thanks in advance!
We are having our first Graceful Moms project! Saturday, May 22 from 1pm-3pm. We will be putting care bags together for the women at the safehouse. We are looking for donations of shampoo, conditioner, lotion, hand & foot cream, body spray, small picture frame or album, manicure/pedicure sets, anything really. These things do not have to be expensive, I will be going to the Dollar Tree to get some things next week. Please keep in mind, these women basically left their home, their life, the abuse w/ the things they could grab while the husband was gone. So anything to help these women know there is hope, to encourage them, show them that someome cares will be appreciated. Not to mention we will be helping the safehouse so they don't have to supply some of these things at least for a few days.
We are always taking donations & VOLUNTEERS! I really need more volunteers, mostly on call or some who can help me stop by the hospital or go get some baby items last minute. Know remember, if you are ASKED to go get baby items for a mom on the spur of the moment, you will be given money to do this.
As always, MOPS, please reply to the e-mail address below.
I appreciate everything you all do everyday! Thank you so much!
