A Family In Need
Posted May 22nd, 2012 by jimmybreen
Hey guys!
A really good friend of mine is an elementary school teacher. She has a really big heart, and I'm working on something with her for one of her student's family.
She has a student in her class that has a really bad home situation. The dad is in prison, and the mother is a cafeteria worker at the school. She noticed that the kid was wearing the same clothes every few days, and she spoke with his mother and they are basically in really bad shape. They are about to lose their house, and the kids are all at ages where they're growing pretty quickly and can't afford to get many clothes.
Anyway, I told her I would share this here. I know I have a ton of clothes laying around I am not going to sell or wear, and I am going to be giving them some of what I have. I figured there might be one or two people here who might be willing to help them out too.
I know Marky from Glamour Kills is going to send some stuff to them, I'm working on sending some stuff, and Fueled by Ramen is sending a few things as well. If you guys have anything you'd be willing to part with, or samples or something that you're not going to use, they could really use the help and I know it would make a really big impact on their family.
The kids age and sizes are as follows:
2 year old girl - 4T
11 year old boy - Youth Large or Adult S
13 year old girl - Girl Medium
And the address to send stuff to is:
E. Zaglauer
Symmes Elementary School
6280 Watson Road
Riverview, FL 33578
Thanks guys! It is really sad that we live in a country where people constantly struggle like this.

I'm going to call and see if my parents will send some out for me, I have womens and mens tees. Even if they're a bit too big they'll grow into them just fine haha

It's good to see the Mintees community doing their part to help out, hopefully this family's situation turns for the better.

Definitely great to see the community coming together for a good cause. I'll be sending out a handful of tees for the boy and I found a girls sized medium for the girl too.

I don't use my paypal for anything anymore, if you guys want to donate, I'll write a check to the family on behalf of mintees and list everyone who donated and their amounts in a card or something -- my paypal is breen.jimmy@gmail.com -- if you'd like to make a personal note from you, just put it in the note field.
You guys are too awesome.
Her name is Ihana -- but we aren't sure of the spelling, it might be Yhana or something like that -- I am not confident enough about the spelling of it to make a definite statement about it unfortunately. You rule man, I think the little girl is the hardest person to find stuff for.
I talked to Erin tonight, and she was really overwhelmed about this response. We're talking about videotaping the reveal so we can get mom's reaction.
