ES - FW: homeless family

[Marsh, Vicki]

Greetings, Elfsea, Xene here.  

Please read below.  Our school nurse  (Darla) and counselor (Ina) are asking
for help for the sweetest little girl I have ever met.  She and her family
have been camping out since January.  I know that Mom is also going through
a divorce as well. 

If you have anything you would like to donate, please e-mail or see me at
the event.

Thank you.

p.s. this is what good teachers really do!

> blankets, etc. that you are going to get rid of, I'm sure they would

> detergent, etc. and then decided that you didn't like it, they could
> really use it.  Anything that could be used by a family living in a tent
> would really help.  I am listing the children's clothing and shoe sizes
> below if your children have outgrown anything that would fit them. Thanks
