RE: A Patch of Flowers

in GEMS3 years ago

Kids always seem to fit into the life they are dealt. I used to hand out socks and gloves in the park across from the White House that had a lot of veterans camping out and such. Then, the governent cracked down and got rid of the mess.

My girls and I would sometimes give out toothbrushes or dental stimulators. A little pack with soap and shampoo. Anything. We put little packs together to hand out. Food was basic like that or coupons for one of the local eateries. I know, McDonalds isn't great, but, when you have a family, sometimes a hot meal is all that counts. A few restaurants gave me meal coupons.

I bow down to you. That is such a kind thing to do. You have a heart of gold. ❤️

I've been doing this since I could afford to, about the time I stacked. I do it solo... going on for 3 1/2 years here now and about 2 1/2 in my Sacramento. I would give out soaps too (pre-covid, I take toiletries that are from hotels when I travel to give away).
So nice of you to teach your girls!!!

I take toiletries too! :)) It is a parent's job to teach the kids. I wanted them to grow up into good humans. ❤️
