LARGE WOMENS CLOTHING NEEDED URGENTLY!!!

I copied and pasted this from a weight loss surgery blog I'm on. I know how hard it is to find clothes in good times when you're larger than a size 18, and I wish I still had all my old clothes so I could send them down. Thursday, when I will probably feel like getting out again, I'm going to organize a foray to every thrift store I can get to in Bremen and Carrollton, and we're going to buy up all the really big women's clothes we can find, as well as inexpensive shoes.

Here's what made me decide to do this:

SAN ANTONIO TEXAS – IMMEDIATE NEED FOR PLUS SIZED CLOTHING:

I am forwarding an email from a friend:

I just received an email from a group that has been to the Shelter. The big women are having to wear trashbags. They observed this with their own eyes. They are also in need of shoes - which I will be taking some but I don't have enough for 2500 people! Here is a cut and paste of what's needed:

clothes for large women - The larger women were having to wear trash bags. There were no clothes for them.
blankets and pillows - Over and over we were asked for them. There just were not enough to go around.
shoes - most of the people had NO shoes socks/underwear
Baby Things - formula, baby cribs, play pens, baby food, bottles , diapers
Hygiene - toothpaste, toothbrushes, hair brushes, rubber bands, combs, deoderant, ladies products!!

Please, if you have these items, send them to:

Helping Hands for Texas

======================================
I'm going to have Mike call area churches Tuesday to see if we can donate material goods to them. I implore everyone else to do the same. And I don't want to hear "I don't have the money/I'm broke/I don't have anything near" and so on. Mike and I are both disabled, both unemployed, but we've donated what we can and we're going through our household items to see what we can give. I'm going to troll the thrift stores next week for women's large size clothing, and send what I can find to Texas (they're housing the most refugees, so they need the stuff most).

THIS is what Americans do best -- we take care of our own, and we display that big, open-hearted, good-natured generosity so imbedded in us all. At heart, we're all just country folks, and country folks pull together when a neighbor is in trouble.[Unknown site tag][Unknown site tag]
