We have a client who has been diagnosed with panic attacks with agoraphobia and is hopes that exercising at home will help her.  She is looking for a treadmill or an elliptical.  If you have one that is just gathering clothes and want to get rid of it, let Jennie know at jennie@100goodwomen.org or 785-380-7508.

Thanks!

We have a single mom who had to leave her home behind suddenly without many personal items.  She is fine with her own situation but would like some things for her 2 1/2 year old baby girl.  If you have any of these items, please contact Jennie:

• toddler bed
• dresser
• Size 3T girl's clothing

If you can help out, please contact Jennie by email ( ) or phone (785-380-7508). 

Thanks so much for all you do!

As you know, we are often looking for furniture for people.  On some occasions the people needing the furniture are able to assist in the collecting and moving of the items.  More often than not, however, they do not have access to trucks or more importantly, muscle to help move the items.  In addition, coordinating the efforts can be complex and arduous.

We don't have a storage unit.  Therefore, when we need to move big stuff, it's likely to be on short notice. (We have learned that having a storage unit results in much greater complexity.)

We would like to put together a list of people or groups that would be willing to let us notify them when we need something moved and spring to action and get 'er done.  Trucks to load stuff into never seem to be in short supply.  Trucks we can find.

Or, if you can think of a smooth system that we can put into place, we would welcome your thoughts.  Please email Jennie ( ) if you have either the muscle, the time or the ideas.

Merci.

First Step House/Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus

Every year this delightful couple visits First Step House to deliver presents to the women in recovery and the children with them. For this, we need:

• Moms - 40 bath items – you know, a lovely soap, lotion, etc. (not just a bottle of Dove).
• Children - 15 stuffed animals

To avoid that awkward situation of one child having a huge stuffed animal and another have a little bitty one, please keep the size to something mid-range. In either the purchase of the bath item or the stuffed animals, please keep the limit between $5 and $10.

Please let Jennie know at or by calling her at 785-380-7508 before you shop so that we can avoid duplications. Gifts must be wrapped, tagged and delivered by Monday, December 17. To make arrangements to deliver the gifts, please call or email Jennie.
