Ronald McDonald House Wishlist

Good evening everyone!
          Hope you all are enjoying the weekend, I know I am :-). Today has been a rather mellow one. Did my good deed in the morning and then just enjoyed some quiet time at home before I started studying. I have 3 exams next week so I really need to be on my study grind.
         Well my good deed for today was a lot of fun for two reasons. The first being that I got to go shopping for the families at the Ronald McDonald House and secondly my boyfriend joined in on the goodwill. We went to the Family dollar store in the morning to get some items from their wish list. I chose to go there because of their very good deals, which meant that we could get more. We ended up getting the following items;
  • Paper towels
  • Toilet paper
  • Plastic plates and cups
  • Lysol cleaning detergent
  • Swiffer mop with the dry and wet cloths
  • Washing detergent
            We got them for a rather reasonable price and I am glad about that because supporting charities can get pretty expensive. We dropped the items off at the house afterward and got to meet some of the personnel there. They were really grateful for the items we bought and we were both really happy to give them. Raising awareness and involving other people in this project was one of things I hoped to get out of it, so I am really thankful for and appreciate his help. The more, the merrier!!!!
