Charity Crafting - Every Little Bit Helps

Our local senior mobile home community's charity crafting group only meets once a week, for two hours. We have five people, but only four show up at most. Most weeks, it's only one to three. In spite of that, we are slowly but steadily accumulating a wonderful stash of items for preemies, homeless, and nursing homes.

Last Friday was the ultimate in surprises. One gal, who only showed up the first day, back in April, has not ever had a chance to join us since. Yet Friday, she stopped by, in a hurry, as always (I'll explain in a moment), and left me an amazing stash. I haven't counted, but it looks like about 3 dozen preemie caps, about that many preemie shirts, and a little blankie! She said she works on them on nights when it's hard to sleep.

This was a "lady marine" in her past. She is extremely busy with volunteer work for the veterans. She has a group that conducts a service at the local veteran's cemetery every Saturday, in full dress uniform. In addition, she has many, many projects she handles for various veteran's causes. The fact that she slowly, gently accumulated these for our group is amazing. And it shows that little by little, we end up with a lot.I'm so grateful, Peggy! Thank you.
