MONDAY MOTIVATION - Generostiy and Gratitude

G.B. Stern said: "Silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone."  I can be silent no longer...

I've been gathering items for our Lifting Hearts yard sale (this coming Saturday - June 23rd), and I've been amazed and humbled, and extremely grateful for all of those who have donated items to us.  I was gone all day on Saturday, driving around to different yard sales, picking up leftover items to use at our yard sale, and when I got home, imagine my surprise when I walked into my basement and it was FULL - literally FULL - of items that people had delivered to my house.  There is really not one bit of space to even walk in!

This group is SO important to me, and I hope to other survivors as well.  We are running out of funds, and because it takes money to run a support group this large, I'm worried that unless we can raise more funds, we won't be able to offer this support group much longer.  That, in my opinion, would be tragic.

Apparently, many of you feel the same way - at least, your contributions witness to that.  Thank you SO MUCH for being so generous!

We are still taking in donations of items for the yard sale. Please contact me, and I'll tell you where to drop your items off: 801-360-4666.

*monetary donations are always welcome!

Love,
Kara
