awww i'm sure she will cry happy tears you will have tolet us know what she says when you give it to her.

Recently I made a trip to the pregnancy crisis center and it wasn't a lot but I gave them a can of heinz formula that I had coupons for and a friend had some coupons for so I only paid tax on it.I also gave them a case of good start formula because our daughter can't eat it,and I gave them some baby blankets because we have enough. The lady working their was so thankful and it made me feel good to help someone else out. I am hoping to eventually collect enough stuff to make another trip there. I have no problems donating to them but will not donate to the food bank because their staff has been nothing but rude to me.

A local business where I am a client asked me if I knew of any families that they could "adopt" for Christmas (they know I'm in social work, specifically in poverty law). So I chose three families from among our case loads.

Yesterday, I went to pick up their gifts from the business, and could barely get all the boxes in my Dodge Caliber! Their generosity was extraordinary! My 17-year old and I got the pleasure of being "Santa" and delivered the Christmas hampers yesterday.

At the first home - - the little boy (about 3 1/2) was jumping up and down with excitement. And at the second home -- two little boys 2 & 4 -- when we got off the elevator at their floor, they were racing up and down the hallway! It was adorable.

I didn't get to see everything that was in the boxes, but I did peek, and saw a Thomas the Train on the top -- some little boy is going to have a good Christmas!
