Great news, they found a nice big 3 bedroom apartment. It's in a nice quiet neighborhood, right across the street from the school the kids will be going to and a playground.
They are just about moved in, just have a few things left to move & set up. By tonight they should be living there. They only have a few things left to get, like some more clothes & toys, 2 beds and some small odds & ends. Of course their place is pretty empty as they have just the bare neccessities but at least they are all safe & sound. Don't worry, I let them borrow my air mattresses until they get their real beds.
The kids were really down yesterday. I think it's really hitting home now, with them in their new place, half as empty as their last home. Michaela told me that her heart will hurt this week, until she gets the ferrets this coming weekend because she has no animals to love. It was sweet yet very sad. So the ferrets will be moving in this coming weekend. Thanks to some folks at a ferret forum I frequent, they will be getting some extra supplies for them.
I'll be hitting up some yard sales to see if I can get them some of the few things they still need as well as some knick-knacks & the like so it actually looks & feels like home. My father is trying to locate some decent yet cheap mattresses & boxsprings.
My SIL, brother & I are trying to collect some money so we can get some copies of some photos for them, a nice album and some frames.
Jill, we got the check, thank you so very much. That went towards the purchase of a new bicycle for Brad. Which should help him a lot, riding his bike is his FAVORITE thing to do in the whole wide world.
It's amazing how these kids and their mother have handled this situation. I am really proud of them all.
We all thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. I know we will never be able to repay yous enough. Yous are all angels and we are blessed to be a part of PT.
