In my many years of experience, most people dread having to
put together a garage sale, they only put it together when they are filled to
the brim with stuff and need to make space for new stuff. Not Bill and Jamie,
they volunteered to put on a garage sale with the proceeds going to benefit my
family. They didn’t just put on a half-hearted attempt of a garage sale, they
took on donations that filled their garage, had friends over to make baked
goods and signs, posted on Craig list and face book and even went out picking
up donations from people all around Las Vegas. These two, along with some good
friends, really put on a good sale to help out our family; I couldn’t be more
thankful to have them in our lives and owe them a huge deal.

All in all it went really well, even with the horrendous
weather; we had made almost $700 from the garage sale(s) and still have more
stuff to sell. We had/have televisions, lots of clothes, a weight bench, board
games, game systems, movies, couches, chairs, power sports equipment, sports
equipment, appliances; I don’t think I could list all of the stuff we had/have
and with a majority of it being donated, they were priced so low some people
paid extra to help out.
Some of the people that came out were really great, some
even came out just because it was a benefit for me, I had people hugging,
talking and praying for me that I didn’t even know; it was a really blessing. Bill
and Jamie, Amy, Heather, Jamye, Ana and Christa have all been great; not only
during the garage sale events, but during this whole debacle, I couldn’t
express my gratitude enough for these people.
