How quickly you all respond and how happy Mom is

I posted yesterday Mom still needed a microwave and a vacuum cleaner. Within an hour, two people came forward with those items. I'm so amazingly appreciative.

Mom said something really sweet yesterday: people donated this, not because they know me, but because they respect an trust you. Otherwise they would have simply donated these items somewhere else

Awww :-)

The new apartment is ready-almost





What an amazing effort by everyone. Moving the stuff was quite the chore. We did that this weekend. I apologize for not updating more, but as you can imagine, my plate has been rather full. We need to cleanup and put away a bit, but I wanted everyone to see as soon as possible all the stuff we got in.

I'm amazed that we were able to do this all for less than $100---everything else was donated.

Tuesday is the big day when they get to see the apartment--then writing thank you letters begins

Caught up and we have alot of stuff

WOW.

The generosity has been incredible. We've got alot of stuff. This week was crazy for me: trying to get my mother moved, helping out a friend run her business while she was out of town...and preparing for that whole iPad thing.

I've updated the list on the side and I think we are really set. The only small missing items that might be helpful are:

Microwave
Dresser

Anything else we are missing?
