Thank you Sandie P for this colorful and very soft scarf. I love these colors. What's this yarn called? Sandie is a long time supporter of Bridge and Beyond. We appreciate your dedication to the cause over all these years. For those who may be new to reading this blog, Sandie and I met working together on a different charity YEARS ago...Katrina hit her area and she organized a charity to help people during that time, so you know how long ago that was. Sandie and I have known each other here on line for all those years.
Thank you Sandie P, as always keep up the marvelous work.

Thank you Melinda for this thoughtful donation of knitted scarves and cotton washcloths. While I know the calendar says it's Spring, it hasn't looked like it, or felt like it here in Ohio. We had 24 degrees this am at 9 am and it's been cold like that every morning for the last couple of weeks. Well below normal temperatures. I'm cold here in the house, can't imagine how our homeless friends are fairing.
So, warm scarves...are still very much needed. And cotton washcloths are used all year long, regardless of the weather conditions.
Thank you for your support of Homeless in need here on Bridge and Beyond. And please keep up the good work and know you are making a difference, an important one.

Thank you Karen S for your continued support here on Bridge and Beyond. Ohio's Homeless benefit from your kindness. By now, I bet most of you can tell as soon as you see a picture that's it's from Karen with her style of cro-knit scarves. The texture is spongy, and thick and warm. LOVE the colors. Some suitable for the men folk, some for the women, and some that can be either.
Many thanks for this generous donation. Thanks also for tagging your hats with size. Folks, this is such a nice way to mark the hats. Karen has cut (either with a dye or perhaps pinking shears circles and punched a hole to tie on with yarn.
As always, please keep up the good work.
Have you all noticed our little graphs are moving...a little here, a little there.
Thank you for all you do.

Wanda Witter lives homeless for 16 LONG years in DC while trying to get the money owed her from Social Security. No one listens, they think she's crazy. Finally 16 long years later, her case has been proven and she has a home, and all the money owed her, $100,000.00.
Please watch Lester Holt talk about this in the video.

This story tells about a mother, Ebony and her 4 children being homeless, living out of their 20 year old car, a Buick. How she was arrested, the car impounded by The Atlanta Police Department. But, there's more as reported by CNN's Victor Blackwell. This is a post for the letter V....a bit of stretch perhaps using the reporters first name to fulfill the alphabetical challenge of the needed post.

Where are You and Your Yarn From?
I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.
Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.
