Sale over

September 10th, 2007 at 09:24 pm

We had a rainy second day and a slow third day but we made a couple hundred and met our goal of getting a climbing wall for the swing set in the back. With our little one in a leg brace it is vital to her development so we were please to be able to purchase it. DS2 sold twizzlers for 10 cents apiece. He grossed $9.00 and i donated the twizzlers. He went to a discount store and bought dog food for the local shelter. I was really proud of him. Needless to say a lot of people gave him extra money to go to the cause. He learned something and it took some of the sting out of playgroup not making it cause of illness.
Today we finally were able to get the brace fixed. Now we have to find shoes. The only ones we have managed to find are tennis type shoes that cost 107.00 dollars. She of course needs special socks too at $15.00 each. Thank God the brace was covered under insurance! The shoes are special order and won't be here till next week. I don't think there is a frugal way to do this!

    Have you contacted shriner hostpial at all? my cousin needed a brace when she was young for a leg problem and they received it for free. is there a shriners hospital near where you are? Try this website: http://www.shrinershq.org/

    they offered assistance, medical care and equipment at no cost to my aunt and uncle. it does not matter based upon family income or anything (at least through the 80's it did not.) and i know others who got care at reduced rates too. good luck!

    There are always areas in which we cannot be frugal. But that's why we work so hard on the areas where we can.
