UPDATES!!!

First of all I do have more clothing here to take pictures of, but haven't had the time yet. I've been working quit a bit of overtime at work, so I've been a little slow at getting things done recently.

So far we are at 1000 sets/outfits, more if you count each onesie in each set individually. If I counted that way it would be at least 2000 or more. I called Levine Children's Hospital today to let them know that I would be there at 2pm on Monday the 9th. I told them how much we exceeded our goal of 200. They were shocked to hear the numbers. They actually don't have enough room to store that many sets of clothing. I'm only able to take 110 sets in this Monday. So I called Presby Main across the street from them and they are taking 60 sets. I also called two other hospitals here in North Carolina, Duke University Hospital and The hospital in Chapel Hill. One is taking 60 and the other is taking 50. Obviously I'm going to have a TON of clothing still here. So here is my plan, I will make a trip to CMC Levine Children's Hospital every 3 months to make a new donation until all the clothing has been donated. If you still have clothing that has been or needs to be mailed that's fine. I'll just store it along with the others until June of this year. If you were wanting to donate but haven't bought anything yet I want to ask you to hold off until I post again for the need of more clothing.

This drive has done much better than I ever expected. Looks like we will just be able to bless families all year round huh?

  4. Rachel - I'm so very proud of you and what you've accomplished with the onesie drive. What an amazing way to remember Carly. I hope you don't mind but we plan on doing the same this year to remember our son, Riley. Thank you for being such a great person and bringing out the 'good' in so many people.
