We used all of our resources just to drive from Slave Lake... We are fortunate enough to have a camper to live in, and a place to park it - but we had nothing in it yet!!! We evacuated with 8 animals. We were supplied with some dishes, cooking utensils, dog food and cat food! We were looking for some clothes for our son, but the donations were just too many to sort through!! I grew up in Spruce Grove, went to SGCHS, moved to Slave Lake in 1995. Even though Slave Lake has been my home for almost 1/2 my life, most of my memories are from Spruce Grove! I remember walking through the "field" to go to work at McDonald's from the High School!!! Anyway, thanks to all of you for helping us out. It has been more tearful to feel the goodness that is still in our life than it is to know what we have lost. Thank you for giving us hope and the will to move on... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438265185865193038.post-86992627613973877082011-05-22T09:33:02.695-07:002011-05-22T09:33:02.695-07:00REPOST EVERYWHERE PLEASE: I am going to talk to th...REPOST EVERYWHERE PLEASE: I am going to talk to the coordinator in Westlock on Tuesday. If you are from the Edmonton area and have any truck, or other type of donation that you do not know what to do with, or any question for the center that you need to get through please message or email me (peggy@perfectpairphoto.ca) so that I can bring an organized list to Darrel, rather than him taking 400000 calls. Hopefully this will get us all set up, and avoid so much confusion. Then I will let you know the results Tues night.Peggy Zallasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438265185865193038.post-40669615372781795902011-05-21T20:47:23.808-07:002011-05-21T20:47:23.808-07:00I dropped by with our donation and was moved by ho...I dropped by with our donation and was moved by how much was being given so freely and so quickly. It is nice to see what can come from our little donations. <br /><br />I read this and have been thinking of how it really applies in this situation. <br /><br />http://www.ucg.org/christian-living/good-steward-gods-blessings-sharing-our-time-talent-and-treasure/<br /><br />Thank you so much for your time and dedication.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
