    <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size="6"&gt;I wanted to help, so I cleaned out the boxes in our garage and put the boxes and 8 item on Offer Up. It read I cleaned my garage out and these items are free.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size="6"&gt;One man took 4 items and 8 boxes. He'll sell them to help support his family.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size="6"&gt;An elderly couple who could hardly walk took 2 boxes and 4 items to supplement their retirement.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size="6"&gt;The other 4 items when to ladies who could afford them.&amp;nbsp; Yes, I could have bartered, but I'm doing okay. It wasn't much, but at least it was something.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size="6"&gt;My next project is sewing and knitting clothes for premature babies and mail them to the hospital in low income areas.&amp;nbsp; Clothes are expensive for the little one. I was asked to make some totally white for the families who suffered the lost of their little one.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size="6"&gt;For those of us who have the time and left over matteral. There are patterns on-line for premature babies, or 18 inch dolly pattern will do. They need help, so if you have the time why not help. Take care.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
