GOODWILL

I will never forgot the kindness of the Ronald McDonald house..when Liam was in the hosp.for his heart surgery, they gave a us place to sleep for only $4, right next to the hosp! I will never give to the 4 first listed. Although, in fairness, during Hurricane Katrina and other devasting weather related issues, the Red Cross helped us & many people in need.Thanks Sparky
ReplyDeleteThanks Sparky, this is good information to know.
ReplyDeleteI am a supporter of St. Judes and the tremendous work they do for children. It's the charity of my heart.
ReplyDeleteSparky, don't forget the Gideon's International...those men *volunteer* so most money for Bibles, goes for Bibles!
