I think I would involve the community. AND, it would be fun to do a community garage sale. Have everyone donate their old items and hold a big garage sale/yard sale and all proceeds can go to your friend. you could also sell baked goods there.gillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10792695768275156944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18652393.post-85145740232532853252011-09-30T20:40:49.136-06:002011-09-30T20:40:49.136-06:00I finally had some time to read your friend's ...I finally had some time to read your friend's blog. It is a tough thing, that's for sure. I have a friend at work who's granddaughter had tumors in both her eyes. She is now blind but her grandmother says she is a very happy little girl and they think they tumors are now all gone. I believe she is now 6 years old. The child has learned to live with what she has. Sometimes it seems easier for children to accept than adults.<br />As far as service, I think it would be fine to have your boys do little service projects throughout the neighborhood and say why. People are generally happy to donate to a great cause. Who could resist your boys doing or selling anything?! You often see jars advertising someone's needs in the grocery stores. I personally like the idea of trying to get the community more involved in this situation. <br />This is a hard one, that's for sure. I'm very sorry and sad for your friend and her family.The Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05957098091143390318noreply@blogger.com
