Wow! What an amazing day! We worked our behinds off, sweated in the humidity, sorted through an ocean of donated clothes but it was so much fun and worth every minute. I only hope my fellow volunteers agree.
My photos aren't uploading, but just wait until I get up some pics of the smiles. These people rocked a yard sale!
Drumroll please. . .
We didn't sell but a fraction of what we had, yet we still raised. . .
over $700 to put toward the new house!!!
A special thanks to the Rideout family who let us use their yard. Bret Rideout of Rideout Repairs donated his time on what would otherwise be a workday for him. He paid his employees to help us with the heavy lifting. A very special young man named Dylan stayed with us all day and ended up donating his days wages to our project. I was blown away.

Bret's wife Jamie worked from sunup to sun down, all while juggling her three kids and a broken toe. Somehow we still managed to squeeze in a laughing fit that brought tears.
Thanks also to Christi, Jamie L, Leslie, Stephani and Whitney who were so generous with their time and resources that day. They truly blessed me with their tireless work and giving spirits. There are too many donors to mention all by name but you know who you are and we appreciate you! So many folks went into making the day a success.
