An Amazing Day

Hello!

WOW! We had an amazing day! We had our garage sale and met so many wonderful people. People were looking for great deals, but were so charitable in return. We were able to raise a generous amount of money for the March of Dimes through not only the purchases, but also from donations in our donation bucket. How nice and generous people are! Sharing Kelsey's story and the blessings we have as a family is what makes days like today so wonderful.

After the garage sale hours were over we were still left with a lot of stuff. We learned that First United Methodist Church takes boxed items to Appalachia and we knew exactly what we had to do. We quickly got to work boxing up all of the items and taping the boxes shut (requirements for them to be stored and taken). It was very rewarding knowing that so many people would greatly benefit from the leftover clothes, shoes, toys, and household items that we had.

In the end, it is exciting to realize just how many people we helped out today. From the people shopping at the garage sale, to the donations for the March of Dimes, to the donated items going to Appalachia...it has been a truly amazing day! After all, these are the reasons why Team Kelsey was created. To help others after so many people helped Kelsey and our entire family during the difficult NICU days. To help out those who need it the most because we all find ourselves there at some point and it's always nice to have someone (or maybe even an entire team) to be there when you need it.

Thank you to Agape Family Ministries for allowing us to use your church for our garage sale.
