A Special Way to Care for Others

This thoughtful donation is very special folks.  This donation comes to us from 10 year old, Laylor F from Louisiana.  Throughout the course of the past year she has saved part of her allowance to purchased toys, personal care items and other supplies needed so that she might donate to those in need.  This remarkable young woman is in the 5th grade at Vacherie Elementary School.  As you can see, she's included items for both little boys and girls, handkerchiefs hand painted for the men living out in the elements, and razors.  A crocheted matching hat and scarf.

This young lady also helps her grandmother, Janis F with making quilts for The Linus Project throughout the year.  She's a member of a special club, Jr. Beta Club where participation in service projects is encouraged.  She's spent a good deal of time singing for seniors in nursing homes as well.  To round out her activities she also belongs to 4H.

Many thanks Laylor for your dedication to others.

Knitting for the Homeless

Thank you Marilyn W for this soft and chunky infinity/mobius scarf.  Folks you may remember some posts back Marilyn's knitted afghans, somehow I missed this picture with her other donations so wanted to post it now.  This scarf is super warm since it's chunky yarn........and so squishy it will be a real pleasure to wear.  

Thank you Marilyn, please keep up the good work.

Crochet Donations Aid the Homeless

 Thank you Beth G for this wonderful donation of crocheted for Ohio's Homeless and others in need.  I love how nicely sized these scarves...people will truly be able to wrap up in them.  Thank you too for the darker colors, which work for both men and women.  She's been a busy beaver with her hook.

Beth has been a faithful supporter of Bridge and Beyond, and we certainly appreciate all of her efforts.

Please keep up the good work, Beth.  Stay tuned for additional donations from Beth folks.  Remember, larger donations are divided to minimize the number of photo's per post so you're all able to better see the work of caring volunteers, and to help us with more regular blog posts.

As we're nearing the end of yet another year here on Bridge and Beyond, please stay tuned for totals.  All items received prior to the end of 2014 will be tallied in that year, even though the posts will appear in the year 2015.
