Thank you Collins Elementary!
We filled our trunk. |
There are more books inside. |
Mikey is so happy to be sitting next to boxes of books. |
These books will be sitting in my garage until we are able to send them to the Philippines. |
Today, my husband and I hauled a big load of books from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Thank you so much to Ms. Carol Ullery of Collins Elementary who saw my listing on Craigslist and contacted me if I was interested in the books they are about to discard. To make a long story short, we got it! These books will probably fill one balikbayan box. We are waiting for more books from our prospective donors. Please help us send these books to the Philippines by sending in your cash donations
