Bottle drive for a mom/family in need!
Description
I am doing a bottle drive to help out a mom friend & her 4 kids.
The 5 of them have had to spend a month at the woman’s shelter, then just before Christmas they were able to move in to their new place! Problem was that her new place was empty… almost everything they owned they had to leave with her husband (it was not a healthy situation unfortunately).
Between myself, some of the kind folks in Kijiji and Alberta Works, we’ve managed to get 3 of the kids beds, 2 dressers and some clothes, a kitchen table, dishes, pans, blankets and some other various small things. The oldest kid said he didn’t want anything for Christmas because he would rather his younger siblings got the gift instead, although such a sweet kid and such a sweet offer- we weren’t able to get any of the kids their own gift and instead got the family all together one gift (a board game). Which they were extremely thankful for everything and surprising overjoyed Christmas morning despite everything!!
My hopes today is to do a bottle drive for the family, who still are in need of our support. The youngest has special needs and for now it’s best that mom stay home with her, which very much so limits moms ability to get her family set up in their new house herself!
Please message me with your location, and a time I can pick up.
