What I've Been Up To Recently

Hi everyone!  I have visited three Girl Scout troops so far and have had success each time!

I have also created a brochure that will--hopefully--be put into clinics and doctors' offices to raise awareness as well.

I also put together all of the donations that I have collected for Safe Haven as well as the quilt and brought them over to a local Safe House today!  Mr. Jaccard (the founder) was very excited to see all of the donations that I have gotten.

I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who has donated because your donations have been overwhelming and so kind and generous.  Thank you all!
In the bags are many packages of diapers, bottles, toys, games, stuffed animals, soap, shampoo, and much more!

Update!

Hey everyone!  I finished my quilt, which can be seen below.  It took a lot of time as well as blood, sweat and tears (not really!), but it's done!  Of course, since I have three more troops to visit, I may end up making another, but I think it's worth it.  To me, the "Quilt of Hope" will be able to serve as a sense of inspiration to the mothers and mothers-to-be who stay at the Safe House because it shows that a bunch of young people support them and care.
