Been awhile so figured I'd better do some major updating.....
The house is finished and has the basics in it.....all the furniture is in place, almost every piece of it for free and most of it either NEW from a furniture store, or like new from private individuals. The beds are made, the bathrooms are set with soap, shampoo, towels, etc. Mom can choose other things more to her liking later, but for now, the house is ready to live in. We've gotten a ton of clothing for the kids, again either new or nearly new.....and mom still has gift certificates to use to get whatever else the kids might need. The grocery donated box after box after box of staples and every item is put away in her kitchen.
The family is coming home on Wednesday.....the entire family! This is really exciting for everyone in our Church to have made this happen for this family and to have been able to find soooo many others willing to help. We've even gotten great cooperation from DHS....not something that happens terribly often!
My thanks to everyone HERE who helped and for anyone who would like to still help, of course there will be ongoing needs. This family has been truely blessed after such a tragedy.
