Why not Giving people a helping hand

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. 

One man took 4 items and 8 boxes. He'll sell them to help support his family. 

 

An elderly couple who could hardly walk took 2 boxes and 4 items to supplement their retirement.

The other 4 items when to ladies who could afford them.  Yes, I could have bartered, but I'm doing okay. It wasn't much, but at least it was something. 

My next project is sewing and knitting clothes for premature babies and mail them to the hospital in low income areas.  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.

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.
