I still have those two sewing machines for you! Is there a time/place that works to deliver/pick up?

iamkatia December 12 2008, 18:51:04 UTC

are you home today?
i've been very sick,
i'm so sorry i didn't get back to you.

i'll email you now. thanks!

Don't worry about it one bit. I understand totally. I'll be home from work by about six-ish...maybe a little after. Do you want me to drop them off? I'm pretty close and it'd be no trouble.

Tonight I will be attending a memorial for a homeless man who died in his tent recently.
But I'm wide open this weekend, so far.
Tomorrow ok?
(Let's take this off-list..)

Mandy, you're a doll! MWAH!**

Everyone who donates will receive an email after the event with photos.
Thank you, dear! :))

Have you asked Safeway for a donation? They have been ready to give gift cards to their store in the past.

iamkatia December 12 2008, 19:07:26 UTC

I didn't this year.
I tried that last year but they said
they couldn't help me unless I was part of an organization.
And I'm not. It's just me.

it might be a lot easier if you got some organization's backing for doing this. there are probably some that will back you unobstrusively.

Since the church is helping you with the location, I wonder if they might help you as representing an "organization" - are you working with someone on staff there?

I don't really have any money to donate (things are tight, yadda yadda), but are any of your kids in need of some winter wearables? Knit hats, scarves, mittens, etc?

iamkatia December 12 2008, 19:17:35 UTC

yes. always.

There is a kid I bought a movie ticket for the other day, he hangs out around the regal meridian downtown. I am going down there today, to see how he is coping with the cold. May I tell him you are having food there?

iamkatia December 12 2008, 19:52:59 UTC

yes, yes!
what's his name?
i probably know him.
ask him if he knows me.
the kids call me 'mama dread'.

thanks for buying him a movie ticket. :)
