where's my home...
The following is an e-mail I received from a teacher after the students did a diaper drive for us and had a baby shower to boot! ”On behalf of Della Icenhower Intermediate Character Club, I want to thank you for all that you do. Ms. Reyer, it was so good to see you last Wednesday. Your attendance really means a lot to us. The students truly enjoy having you here. The game and the things you said really brings why we host a Diaper Drive into reality for them. The parents that attended the shower had wonderful things to say as well. They truly enjoyed seeing their children give back. Many told us about how their kids came home really wanting to make a difference in the lives of homeless children. One of our club member’s parents told us that it especially meant a lot to them because she and her two daughters spent a few months in a domestic violence shelter. She said she really loved that her daughter’s school and club does something to help the shelters because they know far too well how much the shelters could use the help. I can’t tell you enough how much we appreciate your organization. Last year was our first year and we did okay. This year was our second year and we did better. Who knows, maybe each year we will continue to get bigger and better. We look forward to continuing our annual Drive/Shower… Again, we could never thank you enough for all that you do. Your work means so much to so many. We are proud supporters. The kids asked how much our school was about to get donated. I told them I wasn’t sure but was certain that we did better than last year. They said “but we need to know, Mrs. Fields so we can be even better next year”. I didn’t think you would probably know but if you could give us a rough estimate, it would be appreciated. Again, thank you, thank you for all that you do! May God bless you and your mission.
Sincerely,
Lisa Fields
