Electric                       4 families             $  1,181.44

Rent                          17 families            $ 18,105.18

Transportation               1 family        $      122.98

Total $ 20,184.71

Thank you Emaleigh and Aurelia and moms!

Last week we were visited by 12-year-old Emaleigh Criswell and her mother Tonya. Emaleigh is Our Diamond Miss National Talent Queen.  Joining her was 4-year-old Aurelia Kendzior who is Our Diamond Miss  National Talent Queen and her mother Chloe.  As part of their reigns they volunteer throughout the community.  Emaleigh and Tonya sorted clothes while Aurelia and Chloe sorted toys.   Although they were here for a short time they were able to get a huge amount of work done.

Thanks to all of them…and hope they come back and see us again real soon!
