Hello Family, Friends and Website Visitors,

Its time once again for a monthly update as to the progress of my Ministry. 

Now wasn't that fun purging through your things while you did spring cleaning.  OK, maybe the fun wasn't in the cleaning, but I hope it will be in knowing that unused items will be finding new homes.  Along with a variety of hygiene supplies, I also received 2 humungous bags of new stuffed animals.  Can't you just see the faces of the kids when they get those.  I'll have to use the larger bags for them so that I can fit everything in. 

There is something else that has become more apparent to me.  Being that my website is getting more exposure, some people have asked if they can make a monetary donation to avoid postage charges.  Although this Ministry wasn't started out with that in mind, I guess it just makes more economical sense for those that live far away.  I have already received a couple of donations which immediately went to purchasing more yarn and 99 cent store incidentals.  If anyone is interested in a donation such as this, they can contact me at this website for more details.

 As for myself, I have been able to get a donation of over 100 shaving cream packets, suitable for men and women.  I'm also always scrounging around for bargains and networking for donations. 

 Last but not least is the hat count.  As of today, were looking at 176 completed hats.  My fingers are in a permanent crochet position, but it is a labor of love.  Looks like, if all goes well,  I'll be able to surpass my old goal of 150 and hit 200 bags instead.  But make no mistake about it, I know that I couldn't do any of this alone.  I do so thank all of you for your donations and support.

 With Love and Blessings
