Good Job, You Guys

Somewhere between this one making me fall over laughing because, well, THIS:

(Pro tip: If you don't want the world to call you "Grandma Alexis," maybe don't grab a walker when your mom takes you roller skating.)

and this one making me fall over laughing because I AGREE, PINK TUTUS ARE AWFUL

something really fantastic happened.

 

You guys did that.

All of it.

60 backpacks
65 rulers
140 notebooks
19 packs of paper
32 pairs of scissors
48 highlighters
50 bottles of glue
30 boxes of markers
180 pens
54 packs of crayons
48 erasers
20 packs of multi-color pens
75 folders
90 glue sticks
10 packs of index cards
60 pencil boxes
13 packs of underwear
13 packs of socks

It all magically appeared and found its way to Center for Victims. I say "magically" because I counted over 100 different people from all over the world who helped pull it together. I posted a few links and then *POOF* all of the stuff arrived, thanks to those 100 plus people.

That's over 100 people who sacrificed a latte or ten to help make sure some kids who have had life interrupted by violence return to school with the things they need.

Thanks, y'all.

@Melissa--There were a few items left at the end (very few), but I took care of them with a stop on the way to drop off everything!

Freakin' awesome job, you!

I agree with Mila on the tutu situation. Tutus are awesome -- on someone else! They look adorable and scratchy. :-)
