Bet ya'all thought I was dead

Hello everyone,

It's been quite some time since we've last spoken.  No I am not dead, just recovering from a insane Christmas season. 

I would like to update you all on what happened with the Christmas packages for the residence of the Downtown Eastside.  It was an INCREDIBLE success!  This a HUGE thanks to everyone that contributed to the SPARETHECOLD.ORG project!  Thanks Thanks Thanks!  All 102 backpacks held: 2 pairs of socks, deodorant, 100g jar of vaseline, hygene products a hat, a pair of mitts and treats!   

These packs were welcomed with grateful hearts.  If only I could transmit the image of the beautiful and grateful faces.  We saw everything from ecstatic reactions to tears of joy it was truely amazing!  This is community support at it's finest!  You all made a huge difference in the lives of these individuals.  Again thank you!
