A THANKS for HELPING HANDS FOR HAITI

A few weeks ago a cry out for help was sent and many of you have answered, we want to thank you for such generosity. We have actually received so much that my vehicle is not able to take all the boxes to where they need to go.  So one more request for help is going out. 

 

If you have a van or truck, and have a little bit of time, please call me. I need to get these boxes to where they need to go so they can be sent out to Haiti.  If you are interested, please call me for details.  I thank you & god bless.
