We drove up
to Presque Isle on Saturday (Halloween) and met with the Micmac's on Sunday. We
delivered a total of 79 quilts, 50 blankets, 13 afghans, 48 fleece throws,
several bags of knitted items for adult and children and two bags of baby clothes.
Those were the new items. Then we had 17 bags of used blankets and several bags
of used baby clothes, children's clothes and children's shoes. We only had $5.00
in cash donations. We will have to work on that. They are in desperate need of
fuel assistance.
We will begin
collecting again in April of 2016. In the meantime we will be working on a
contact for another reservation in Maine. We are trying to stick with the
request that we keep it local. We delivered everything ourselves, but we still
have free shipping available to us if we go further away.
The first
picture is of Wolf and the coordinator, Kandi, at the reservation community
building unloading our truck. The second picture is Kandi with her husband and
son who also helped us unload. Those three people will be controlling the
distribution of goods. The third picture is of the front door of their community
building.
Kandi has
promised us many pictures of people receiving their gifts. We stressed the need
for pictures. After two failures we are keeping our fingers crossed.
