Thanks to my little Angel Tree and a lot of help from local business owners, there are several families with new jobs, and new hope. I told you that someone donated $100 to each family, well one of the families used the money to buy paint to help get their house back to looking like a home. They had been living with nothing but dry wall on the walls for about year now. Now it’s beginning to feel like home to them again.
Another family used the money to buy a bigger used refrigerator. They had been using one of those dorm type refrigerators. They traded it in to a used appliance store and put the $100 with it and got a full size refrigerator. That will help them save money by not having to go to the store as often. They’ll save a lot of gas.
I am just overwhelmed by what these people have done with the help of my little Angel Tree. I’m even thinking of putting up one for Easter. There’s still a lot that need help and that’s one way to help without them feeling like they’re getting a hand out, just a hand up.
