I am just sickened by the news
today that two people actually used the Boston Marathon as a way to gain
hundreds of thousands of dollars to be used for their own greed!
What
rock do these people crawl out from under? Seriously, faking hospital
documents, who does that? Saying your family member lost their legs
while they have been deceased for years? It turns my stomach!
It
also makes it more difficult for me to get quilters to step up because
they feel there are so many people doing this, they don't want to trust
someone. I get that, I really do.
Let
me assure you, every time something like this happens, I find a contact
person or agency in the area and I get busy getting information we need
and when I have it, I post it!
These
quilts do NOT come to me at all. I live in Washington state and these
quilts are being sent to Prescott, Arizona fire station or in the event I
can find a families address where they can be delivered directly to the
family, I have them sent there!
The
only quilts I receive are the ones that need completion and then they
go in the mail and on their way. What purpose would I have in keeping
so many quilts?
NONE!!
I am NOT a hoarder, not even of fabric, while I have a stash, it isn't a
huge one because I have no room to put it. Right now my living room is
piled with quilts in progress, quilts needing to be completed and others
in boxes going to the mail.
If
you send a donation of money, it goes directly to postage, fabric for
more quilts, mailing quilts and even to the families if we have anything
left.
Please,
even I urge caution when donating, but I want you to know this is
legit, I would never scam anyone, it isn't in my nature, it against the
laws I hold up of humanity and I believe strongly in God's punishments
and karma!
If this has been holding you back, please do not let it, we are still desperate for more!
