My Husband Al just had open heart surgery, a triple by-pass… he still needs gall bladder surgery, two kidney surgeries for a tumor and stones…and the past few weeks have been rough…although I have been a homemaker all my life I now find myself in the position where maybe my mom and charity skills will get the family through these hard times.  I now will be the one keeping the family together and I have an idea…won’t you help me make it a reality… A Family Second Hand Store can come to fruition. There will be medical, transportation and prescription costs that were not prepared for but I want to do something that will be a long lasting support to not only my family but our community. But it will be You, your love and faith in a stranger during such trying times will make all the difference in our lives…I know I can do it. I have to do it! Hello I am Cathy; a wife, mother now a blessed grandmother of precious twins…My husband recently had open heart surgery and as the sole bread winner of the family I must say our family income has changed from something to almost nothing… I never worked outside of the home other than at our church food pantry and charity events (Muscular Dystrophy) I was event coordinator for a number of   years.  I have gained experience working in these venues as well as taking care of home finances for our family. So I know with your help I can make this second hand store work, but not without you! I know that working will be the answer and I hope and pray that with your help and prayers I can accomplish what seems impossible…Today to give back to the community is a must for there are so many people today willing to give a helping hand, especially to help a family traveling through hardships.  I can accomplish more than just support for my family… I too can be supportive by the gifts you bestow… by offering jobs to others on this incredible undertaking…  I really want to open a second hand store, so I can recycle all those wonderful things that without a new home may end up in a landfill…I hope the old adage is true “One man's trash is another man's treasure'’   for I think with the help of my family, as my husband heals, we can make a win, win for neighbors and community.  Many that wish to find a treasure at a reasonable price will find joy with their new treasure…I am hoping to make this happen but not without you!We are looking for a building we could possible buy that needs fixing up and then all the cabinets shelving and racks along with all other things that need purchased to display our wears…and I hope I can find an area where there is no thrift store, where people need a place for second hand things. I believe that with a lot of hard work taking donations from family, neighbors and friends… leftovers from garage sale items, postings for us to come get your old treasures… and with the Lords help and be it his will… we may find many items that will be loved once again and useful for many families from furniture to clothing, all those once lost little trinkets that will once again adorns one’s home. I know I can help support my family with this idea, I hope you have faith in me, too! I am thinking of placing flyers, even starting an internet website; Facebook page, twitter, pin interest etc. so people can see the benefits of a second hand store… with my desire to work for my family…we can encourage people to donate items…but first we need to find the building and maybe just maybe with your help we can start a second hand store that would be a benefit to not only us… but our community… Recycling those things that need a new home!  I want to thank those who contribute for without you I cannot make this come true. I know its people that share with their hearts that makes the world a better place. I never thought I would find a friend in you. So I am sending you all my love, with hugs  and heartfelt thank you… Cathy
