April 2022 Update

Thank you to all of you who continue to donate to Thankful Tuesday Charity, a charity to help those at Esperanza Community, a homeless camp on 183S. A big thank you to the following: my weekly bakers,🥰 Julianna A. for pounds of almonds & coolers, Mary Lou B. for books/magazines, Jay K. for styrofoam coolers, Ann L. for oranges, tee shirts and holiday treats, Albert L. for coolers and grill, Sally M. for dog food, Trisha R. for lots of socks, Barb S. for toiletries & bed sheets, Rita S. for lots of candy, anonymous donations placed on my porch and the anonymous cash donation from a church group. The camp site is still a work in progress renovation that they hope will be completed in August 2022. The 200 tiny homes will hopefully be a transitional camp for those unhoused individuals. TOOF (The Other Ones Foundation) is operating the camp and helping those there get their lives back on track. I remind everyone that I see every Thursday that they all have a purpose and a talent. It will just take some time for many of them to find them both but with support they will get there. I have made friends with the pets at the camp too as I carry treats with me while I walk around the site. You can always drop donations off on my long porch in Barton Creek West anytime. In the summer the following items are appreciated: tee shirts, socks, bath towels/washcloths and toiletries. In the winter, items such as hats, gloves, blankets, twin sheets and socks are appreciated. Books and magazines are welcome any time. Your help puts smiles on faces of folks who are experiencing tough times in their lives. They express their appreciation with everything that I bring and know that they are not forgotten. You have made a difference. Thank you.
