So the Commander a few towns over called to let me know that they had just closed a silent auction that ran for a few weeks.
The blanket I donated had a winning bid of $26,000.00.
Are you kidding me? I am so incredibly humbled by peoples generosity in our very small, very rural communities.
One person can make a difference.
Do the good. Be the good. https://counter.social/media/cBoMbLddL6lokPwcSSs

Woohooo Lisa! It's the gestures that we think are small that sometimes turn out to be the biggest impact. ๐บ๐ธโค
@Itsjustme Itโs super cool. Did you have a pattern for that?
@5ugarcane
I found the graph for it on pintrest. Can't remember off hand where I finally got it from.
It was one of those go looking for one thing on there and ending up somewhere completely different hours later. ๐๐
@Itsjustme It looks hard! Great gift and what a generous person who purchased it.
@Itsjustme wow! that is beautiful work.
@Itsjustme beautiful work!
@Itsjustme That is wonderful! Great work...
@Itsjustme Very cool!
What charity?
@micsha
Thank you.
I made it for a local VFW chapter.
Those funds as well as the rest that were raised will go towards paying for home health aides for their members, transportation to doctors appointments, as well as helping to replenish 2 local food pantries that are in dire need.
The struggle is real every day, everywhere. ๐
@Itsjustme Good job! =)
