Hi everyone:
So I’m posting because we decided to sponsor a family this year for the holidays. In previous years, I have found that finding a family to sponsor is difficult because people sign up quickly (or maybe I sign up too late!….totally possible…). In any event, in emailing the YMCA (at this late date) to inquire about a sponsoring a family in the Seattle area that cannot otherwise afford a Christmas/Hannukah/other for their family, I learned that there are over 100 families that do not have a sponsor for the holidays.
So, I wanted to post this to spread the word that, well,
there are ONE HUNDRED families in the Seattle area who need some help to have a meaningful holiday for their families.If you have the opportunity and inclination to sponsor a family, here is a link to coordinators in our area: https://www.ywcaworks.org/adoptafamily
For me, it was as simple as emailing a coordinator and asking if they had a family to sponsor. I emailed yesterday and was matched with a family this morning.
Topic: I am her
Wasn’t able to safely make a right turn back on to California Ave again this morning (see my other video) but I guess I’d take an illegally parked car over an SUV or big vehicle like this UPS truck. At least you can kind of see around a car. UPS truck was parked for a while not just pausing. It’s a no stop zone with sign and red curb. I wonder if UPS would be liable in an accident? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WETJytRarcQ
