NEW Idea



I’m finally thought of something new to do! I think it’s more interesting and fun. I was thinking of asking some of the girls who live around me, including some family members If they were interested in taking the donations. This idea first occurred to me when I heard our neighbor mention that her daughter (who is my age, 17) wanted a new shirt like one that my niece was wearing but could not afford to buy new clothes and I was almost certain I remember seeing one similar in the box. By giving the clothes to someone I personally know, I would be certain it’s going to someone who will actually receive the clothes since I'd be there with them. If I were to just drop off the donations at the shelter, I wouldn’t know who would get the clothes, and that’s if anyone at all at the shelter could use it. This would also be so much more convenient for me because I wouldn’t have to deal with going to a shelter that doesn’t ever answer my calls and I could do it on my own time instead of having to cancel other important priorities. I would have some neighbors, friends and cousins who actually could use the clothes, come over at a convenient time and let them choose what they wish to keep. By doing this I’m finishing my 20% project and still helping people, I won’t give it to someone who could just simply go out and buy new things. PLUS I could finally get more room in my closet! It takes up so much space, I no longer keep my shoes in there 👠

The Real Issues

So here is a picture of the place where I'm supposed to go leave the donations. Also I'm planning on going and doing some volunteer work for them, the only issue though is that you are supposed to call ahead of time and schedule a date and time for you to go and help, but only if they would answer their phone! OR respond to my emails. Then maybe I'd have that all set and ready to drop off the donations. This place isn't too far from my house so distance isn't much of an issue. The real issues are knowing what to do when I get there. I couldn't just go without knowing what to expect or even knowing who to talk to. I'm stuck, I don't know what to do with the stuff anymore. I'm thinking of what else I could do to get rid of the stuff while still helping people and getting my space back in my really small closet -_-
