Redistribution of Wealth – Malawi Garage Sale Fundraiser
We made $1509.00 for the children of Malawi in less than 7 hours, selling donated items at a garage sale. I continue to have these garage sales because I get to see God show up and do what He does best – love people and deliver on the unexpected. Zikomo Yesu! Tata Goza!
Cleaning Up! Not much left! Yeah!
Some Highlights & Thank Yous
Iman, a 9 ½ year old neighbor, who gave me her savings and volunteered folding clothes + at our sale!
(It makes me cry over and over again, how many children approach me to offer their allowances, savings, toys and books for the children in Malawi. ~Zikomo Michelle, Christopher, Jouelle + many more!)
My mom putting pink garage sale signs up with me at 4 a.m. To our lunch deliver and money counter!
Gary, I did not run over your foot! (smile)
A sweet older man (80+) came back to our garage sale a second time on Saturday. I teased him and asked, “What did you find so irresistible that you had to come back for?” He replied, “You.” Now that guy is a keeper! I wonder if he has a son. (smile)
99% of life is showing up! (especially at 6 a.m.) Zikomo Laura & Patty! You guys encourage me soooo!
