A benefit garage sale for Frank's Mom

We have been raising money for Frank's mom, for her burial fund. Today we finished the second day of our big garage sale. I wish I had pictures, I wasn't smart enough to take them though. Ugh!! I sent out a quick email to all the wonderful sister's in my ward asking if anyone was wanting to get rid of extra stuff, if they would donate it for our garage sale. The reply that I got was tremendous. We got so many donations, it was wonderful. We had the garage sale Friday and today and raised over $600.00. Between people donating their items and the cash donations, we have raised over $1500.00. It will take $7500.00 to bury Frank's Mom, so we are getting there. : ) We found out today that she has a small policy for $1000.00 and it is transferable to the mortuary we have pick to use. Now that brings our total to $2500.00. YEAH!! Every penny helps. We have a funeral service this Monday for a sweet, sweet 19 month old baby that passed away in our ward. The viewing is Sunday night. Her family is amazing and we love them so much. It has been a really sad couple of months. Next week about Wednesday I will be starting the Little Caesars Pizza kit fundraiser we will be doing next. We have been so blessed with such great friends and family around us. Our family has gotten so much closer from these experiences.
