All filled up with pencils, pens, erasers, sharpeners, candy, an egg, a poem with hairband wrapped around it and ball squishie with they fill up with water. They also got 2 sets of 36 pads for the girls as well as bracelets, we had my mom and 2 girls in church help make a total of 65 bracelets and maybe a necklace or two. Also 4 sets of granola bars, 12 in each with leftover candy pencils, and pens that didn't make it in the bags. Napkins donated and 4 waxed shoe laces. And lets not forget we also had 2 ladys who helped out on basketmaking. thanks to them.




I also went SafeNest. Donated coloring pages, crayons, and hairties to wrap the color pages with, tissues, and about 25 of plastic animals. Stickers also.

Been a CHANGE please read....

So i only have 15 water bottle baskets.... the girls i have given the jewelry kits too i will in the future hand those back out in the baskets. later in the year sometime i will be making more baskets. i will be quitting my job here soon in a few weeks...but am still looking forward to still handing out more of those baskets out.

Finally got in contact with Street Teens...

So i finally got a message from 'street teens'. they called me back and left a message. And then i called them back an hour later and they yes they be willing to accept in-kind donations and would like my baskets.

They have 150 kids come thru there every month. Ages 12-21.

I will be making 150 baskets with or without help. Call me or email me if you want to help. I will have to adjust the stuffing the basket items. i have to go window shopping or shopping at the dollar stores to see whats their bulk packages and what can fit in the water baskets. the jewelry kits (necklaces, earrings, braclets) will still be in the baskets for the girls, and as for the boys keychains.
