A reminder for my readers who live in this area...
Ronald McDonald House is having their annual thrift sale at a warehouse located at 773 Elmgrove Road. It's right off of I-490, really easy to get to....
today it's open all day and from 5-7 pm everything is 20% off
Tomorrow it's open from 10-4 and everything is 50%
Saturday is fill a bag for $7!
We went yesterday and I bought some sweaters and a pair of jeans for me and Jon, a case for Steve's game system, a Lego Xbox game, and some great books all for about $40! What a fun way to help and all proceeds go towards their yearly budget. Ronald McDonald House of Rochester NY ROCKS! They are such a great organization...if you can't make it out, think about giving to them so families can be helped.
You can give by sending a check to
RMH
333 Westmoreland DR
Rochester NY 14620
All I ask if you give, give in honor of Sam and Selah....I'd love to hear that RMH got a huge donation in their honor!!!!!!!
This house and the one in the hospital that we stayed at for weeks stays packed, so many stories, and families on difficult journeys....no one is here on a vacation. The staff and volunteers here are beyond awesome, you just have NO idea how we are loved and cared for!!!
So if you can help them in any way, know you are helping so many many families who come here not knowing what their outcome might be, It's so much more than just a place to stay. If we could afford to stay in the nicest hotel in town, we'd be alone...here we are surrounded by loving people, it lifts our spirits so much.
We are so thankful for the Rochester RMH!!!!!!
"Our life maybe a crazy life but it's our life" I'm married to a pastor of a small rural church, who is also the prison chaplain. We have 5 kids, each with their unique story. I love gardening & we all love the outdoors. Our life is not the way we planned it to be, but we are learning to trust God in every area. Come and read about our life as we live it to the fullest!

And oh do I sooo get that, after having stayed for 3 weeks at the Children's House (similar concept as the RMH) in Baltimore when our Katya was in the hospital. We are really social people and would have had a horrid time in a hotel, being so far away from home and friends/family . . . at least at the house there was usually someone else to chat with . . .
