NEWS!!! Today we received a generous donation in the form of a gift card from our local Coon Rapids, MN Target store to be used to purchase dolls, bears, infant and teen related items for our Gift Tote Bags. This is part of Targets way of supporting local charities. I just HAD to take a picture of this gift card from this wonderful company donation. Hey everyone….we are going to make this project as big as we can….and reach as many little kids as we can!! Let’s work hard and make this happen!! A HUGE Thank You to Target!!
A HUGE Thank You to Margaret Jankowski at “The Sewing Machine Project” and Brother Sewing Machines for donating five Brother RCE1100PRW sewing machines to Don’t Cry…I’m Here. These sewing machines feature 100 different stitches and we will be able to decorate our doll/bear items to the hilt. They arrived in the mail today….and are so needed for our Open Workshop Days. I’m am so grateful for this donation.
The Sewing Machine Project is a nonprofit charity that provides sewing machines to worthy causes.
Thanks Mary Thumma Ketelsen for leading me to this wonderful charity.
Here are a few photos from yesterday’s delivery of Doll Gift Tote Bags to Arrive Ministries. We had a very, very interesting visit with Bob Oehrig, Executive Director at Arrive Ministries, and members of his staff when we made our delivery. The people that have given their careers to help refugees are a remarkable group. We had a very in depth conversation on refugees and many things about refugee work. We had very serious conversations….and yes…Bob….being quite a jokester…brought a lighter note from time to time. Thanks everyone….for helping us welcome these very deserving children.
