,

Thank you for this. I really did not mean to sound nasty, it was just when it

got to talk about financial assessments for a clothing exchange I was hit again

with how I felt knowing that no one would help because I wasnt " poor enough " or

it wasnt convienent or important enough. Maybe I am a bit bitter about that,

but I am sure you can understand that, having been there yourself.

I really do understand that you have no intention of the foundation being like

that, just from the way you have talked. You are doing a wonderful thing and I

trust that - having been there - you will do you best to make sure that no one

ever comes away from your foundation feeling hopeless.

I also meant no insult to with my message. I was just trying to show her

that sometimes need cant be assessed by a financial statement, and sometimes you

just need a more casual setting. I dont know 's story, so I dont know if

she understands what a slap in the face it is to hear " You are not needy

enough " . The message also came off as very defensive and kinda snippy, which I

did not think was fair to ee and who were just trying to simplify

the idea. ( - assuming you read this - I really hope I did not mean to be

hurtful, and if I was I apologize).

As I said before, I have a couple of pairs of shoes and non-adjustable bars I

would be happy to send to the Foundation to help get the ball rolling on that

end.

, you have a big heart, and by being involved with the Foundation, I can

only assume that does as well. You have the gift of first hand experience

that will make your Foundation far greater than just good intentions could do.

Merry Christmas,

Angel

OK HOLD UP... I have to step in here and clarify a couple of things.... first

thing being.... I just want to get involved with shoes and bars... exchange on a

first ask first serve basis. The financial assessment was to formal for this

kind of thing. I will help anyone and everyone.

PLEASE understand that I am putting my heart and soul into helping our kids and

their families and the last thing I would ever, ever want is any animosity from

any of you. I am here to help......

Merry Christmas to all,
