Good morning, I just wanted to share with you what our pick up looked like on Thursday. Thank Goodness for Tammy Konkol. How many times do you see an email with a Konkol name in it! This family is a back bone to us. She arrives with the love house van ( thanks to Pat Sommer who had that donated) and attached are the pictures of what we were greeted with. I started out asking Mike Little owner of Avondale Nissan if we could put a toy box in the showroom.
We have wanted to get a dealership to be part of us but just couldn't get the involvement. I was down getting my car serviced dropped in to say hi and Mike suggested that it would be best for them to take a group home child's complete wish list which delighted me. We sat and talked about the group home kids and the aloneness of Christmas for them and as I was leaving his office he changed his offer from1 child to 13. I just stood there in disbelief. He looked at me and said " we need to get shook up around here" We had just found out that one of our companies that always supported us has changed their charitable giving and they would not be there for Christmas this year so this was better news than ever.
It didn't stop there, we took on another house that nobody had sponsored and Avondale Nissan with all their employees took on another 3 kids to total 16. These employees contribute all year to their fund. This is not a corporate alone deal, this is people like you and me trying to make a living and live a good life, Mike then matches them. We certainly got a dealership and as always in God's timing and his way. We never thought we could get one to take on complete wish lists which is perfection for us. Of course it is it's HIS way! Have a Blessed Christmas! Maureen |
