When my friend Katherine said to me in September, "We are going to host a garage sale for you and it will raise thousands of dollars", I was skeptical. WOW! A LOT of work, A LOT of craziness endured by this loving host family, A LOT of donations, A LOT of love and A LOT of volunteers!
We felt loved by every single donation, word of encouragement, shopper, friend who came, neighbor, you name it! There is no way I can even thank everyone who helped. Countless hours of sorting, pricing, loading, unloading, hauling, moving, advertising...... And just when we had not an ounce of energy left, my sister and her family and 2 other dear families showed up for clean up! Took 2 loads of the best stuff to our favorite thrift store and a charity picked up the remaining garage full a couple of days later.
It was so very beautiful seeing this team effort. Seeing friends and family working so hard to help us. And WOW did God multiply the money! I was going to be thrilled with $1000 and He provided $6,336! The largest cash deposit I have ever brought to the bank.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to every person who was a part of this special event! I won't mention your names, but here are a few of the people who made us feel so special. Sorry I don't have a picture of all of you.
