Most of the group was able to head to our family's home to help clean/repair things and give out items we attained for them. It was quite a productive day...and well worth it!
The kitchen was a grand project...walls and appliances were scrubbed. A new pantry cabinet was put together so they could have more food storage. The faces of the cabinet doors/drawers were replaced thanks to one of our group member's dad (<---he's fantastic). New curtains were hung in various rooms. The handles on the tub, sink, and toilet were repaired.
The best part was when we brought in all of the clothes we were able to collect for the family. We also bought them a crib, mattress, bed set, and a few items for the baby on the way. The mom started crying and was incredibly grateful.
And then we told them we were going to pay their heating bill for the month. They are so set! But we still have a stroller coming and some food still to take to their house. We are giving them some Brewers and Bucks tickets as well. They should enjoy that!
This Charitable Challenge certainly does not end today, or even in the next couple days. It's a life long attitude.
