Did you notice the numbers with our afghan goal? We have officially now pasted the half way mark with our donations! I'm thrilled to see that and hope we more than meet the goal as it's lower than some of our years.
I'm currently over half way on an afghan I'm knitting. Are you working on one?
Today's letter is Q in our blogging in Alphabetical Order. Q, is never an easy letter. The last two times through the alphabet, I blogged using the word quilt. But, today I've chosen Queue, Quality, and Qualify as words that start with the letter Q.

Quality. I believe we improve the quality of someone's day when we gift them a warm hat, or scarf, or beautiful afghan. If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't be continuing with Bridge and Beyond. I believe you all think the same or you wouldn't spend your valuable time and tremendous skills to knit and crochet for Bridge and Beyond.
Qualify. One of the problems Homeless people face is knowing what help they might quality for. Knowing where to go, whom to talk to in order to find out what they might qualify for. There are out reach programs that carry note cards with names, phone numbers, and addresses of help programs to give to homeless people they encountered to help them in the process. Sometimes they also provide transportion or bus passes to help those in need. Think about that, if you needed help tomorrow.....do you know how to find out what you might quality for? Sadly, a large number of people really don't. So think about that and add being hungry, sleep deprived and or fearful to the mix. These are just of what homeless people deal with on a daily basis.
**The counts on our progress bars are current. All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated. The Power of One is awesome, and when we work together The Power of One becomes The Power of Many.
That is nice the afghan count is going up. I hope the other counts will continue to rise quickly.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you Sue and as always thanks for your wonderful supportive visits and comments. Truly they are appreciated.
DeleteGood point about qualifying. I don't know if I'd know myself where to go. I'd probably have to depend on the kindness of others to help me. I always like to see the counts go up. That's great!
