Dear Anonymous,
Mike is telling us about distributing toys again up at the family shelter.
'It got too GIMME GIMME so I stopped and came back a bit later. Told the kids and the parents that it was gonna be 'PLEASE' and 'THANK YOU'. But it's hard. Everyone wants something and I only got so much.'
And that, he says, is echoed out here. And I agree. There is never enough. There is always the voice of MORE and I NEED and GIMME. Always the reality that this particular resource could dry up overnight.
This morning, though, I also hear the voices of appreciation. Of gratitude. Of relief.
Thank you. Those that have recently donated clothing and jackets and backpacks please know that it has all found homes out here.
