The Yard Sale Was A Huge Success

Hello Everyone- Sorry it has taken me so long to post the results of our sale. My computer has been down.
Anyway, the yard sale was a huge success! As you can see we had a lot of stuff to sell. By the end of the day we still had quite a bit left over, but had sold quite a bit as well.
Between sales and donations left with us that day we made over $1,000.00!!! That is awesome! It was truly amazing to witness the kindness of people, both friends and strangers. A woman who has never met Tami or her family told me that she just happened to read Tami's flyer at the down town Curves. She has checked the blog daily since then and is praying for Tami's recovery. She donated a case of tote bags to our yard sale and left us with a check to deposit into Tami's account. This is just one of the many amazing people that are thinking of and praying for Tami everyday.
Another gentleman just stopped by to check out the sale when he stopped to read Tami's flyer that we had posted. He belongs to a motorcycle club that is committed to helping out people in need. He asked to take a copy of the flyer so that he could see about getting some additional help for Tami and her family from his motorcycle club.
The entire day was very uplifting for me. It touched my heart to see all of these people genuinely concerned for our Tami and willing to help her out by making a purchase or a donation.
I must thank everyone who helped out at the sale that day. Devron, Sherry, Lisha, Grandma Ann, Riley, Patti, Chad, Andrea, the entire Goodfellow Family, and everyone who donated their stuff. This yard sale would not have been as successful without all of you. Thank you , thank you, thank you.

Sincere thanks to Tawnya and her extended family. It was a noble effort with a fabulous outcome. Tami is truly blessed to have Tawnya for a best friend/sister. Love and hugs, Grandma Ann
