Saluting Shelley Brandt - SOS Giver of the Month

Sometimes people come into your life for a season and others for a reason. Her name is Shelley on the SOS message board and we believe she came into the Sisters of Savings life for both. She is a wonderful woman and mother. She is motivator and a life changer. If you have the pleasure of meeting her your life will not be the same. I could say alot about her but I will let the other family members speak for me.

Here is the alert Shelley sent out Okay, Most of you know that I am an OLD SOS member! Faithful and true...... Some of you know that I have rental property and have had a time with one in particular renter. Heres where angels are needed:

I inspected the home earlier this month and found it in complete disarray. What bothered me more was the empty fridge, freezer and cabinets. This renter is a single parent with 3 growing children.

They are in need of everything! These children need to eat.....
If you can spare any of your stockpile...please PM me and I can give you the address. Thanks in advance because I live the SOS way and I know there are angels among us who will step up!

After Shelley;s post this is what happened,

Kasie took a 24 pack of Toliet paper,Tide, Clorox bleach, bounce, foil, foil wrappers, ziploc bags, mustard, ketchup, weisheisierrjekjfr LOL i dont know how to spell it, a BIG BIG box of goldfish crackers, cereals, pastas, spaghetti and Ragu, puddings, fruit snacks, razor, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, bandaids, pasta in a box, man I cant remember it all i know there was more food.

Sisters, cabinets on 1/2 of her kitchen had nothing in them. BY the time all of the food was unloaded those cabinets were full!!!! And her canned food pantry was full stacked 2' high!!!!!

And, her tears, when Kasie gave her a special bag all for her own!!!

Hubby is saying he can't even see 10 bags of food gone from my house!!!!! I didn't make a real dent in my stockpile but it made someones month!!!!!
