Children left behind after mom crashes into Bay

[Beach House 25]

I just wanted to let everyone know that through many generouse parents, and the supply store at the middle school all 4 kids will now have new backpacks & school supplies to begin the 2nd half of the school year with! The community support has been amazing! Thank you to all who have donated - no matter what it was. Thank you to all who have kept this family in your prayers. They will be better because of you.

Hope we can kick this off next week and get more long term interest in these children! Happy New Year and God Bless you and the folks that are putting in such the effort... Your seeds will produce Love and Light!

I've been AWOL for awhile and just learned of this from BH25 yesterday. What is the situation on the car? We need to see what we can do in this area? I know there's an organization for this purpose. Also, if we can get the transmission fixed would this help? Please post or PM me and let's get them some transportation.
Thanks to all of you. It's the people that make Sowal what it is!

Diane,
the Thrift Store of Grace has been taken over by the Goodwill store that was across the street so now the Goodwill store is at that location. Not sure if Thrift Store of Grace relocated, sold or closed but it's gone.

Still need scoop on the car.

Do they still need a Car?​

I apologize for not responding about the car yesterday as I had to work all weekend, and although I checked the site I didn't post...

I will be calling Sonja today to check in and will ask about the car. The youngest childs birthday is today, so I am sure their minds will be elsewhere.

As soon as I hear something I will post. Thanks for your patience!!

Thanks for the info, Cork! Personally, I love thrift stores, but, have never cared for Goodwill's. They price their stuff bigtime retail and I'm wanting bigtime bargains! Yep, I know that it's about their being able to help others, but, I feel that you don't have to price, so high!

The car isn't just the transmission, it's also the size, as they have the 4 kids to tote around and a truck won't do it. My thought is that a good minivan would do the trick, as the gas mileage would be so much better for them than an SUV.

Is it possible to get a committee working together on this face to face? There's a lot that needs to be done to help this family, but it can get overwhelming and just being offline for a couple of days one can totally loose focus. Please PM me if anyone's interested at all.

Happy New Year everyone!

Sonja is still in need of a dependable vehicle. Their is a list of things wrong with her Kia, aside from the fact that it is too small for a family of 5.

If anyone has any information on how to apply for a donated car, please let me know. If we point Sonja in the right direction, she is capable of getting things done, she just needs to know where to go.

Right now she is going in the right direction to get things "normal" for the kids. She has taken them for physicals, and now has to deal with a host of health issues (eyes, teeth etc...) for all the kids. Not to mention she is having her own health issues. I have stressed to her that she needs to take care of herself in order to take care of the kids, and she is working on that as well.

Please continue to keep this family in your prayers.

Thank you.

I had a rather unusual discovery yesterday in front of my house on the bay, it was a Grey Goose Vodka bottle with messages inside. I looked inside at the messages, it also contained a a silk rose, and discovered messages of love to Shani. I didn't know what to do. I reassembled it, and thought because of this thread, someone here would have an idea. I would assume that someone threw it off the bridge, and the currents brought it to shore. Actually, most anywhere you throw it in the bay, it will float to shore. What should I do? I could tie a rock around it, and sink it, I know she died in the bay, and that's probably where they wanted it to stay, as a memorial. Anybody got any ideas?
