Ready for a Good Night's Sleep

With the contributions of those in attendance at the Thanksgiving Feast at California Kitchen, new mattresses were bought for the children of CORFRA. The owners of Casa Flores on Ordonez Lasso, Monica and Manillo Flores, gave a reduced price for the 24 mattresses and delivered free. Here are the mattresses coming out of the store.

Now for the unloading.

Nice thick mattresses.

The children and staff were thrilled with the new mattresses and most appreciative. None of this would have been possible without the help of the contributions from the gringo community. Many thanks to all who contributed. For those who went for the delivery, it was another one of those warm fuzzies. This was one major project accomplished, but the most important thing the children need is people contact. They're thrilled to receive visitors and hugs; but for now, they will have a good night's sleep.

A special thank you to Mick and Angie for taking pictures in my absence yesterday.

Until next time,

Mick and Kathy
