Now that is worth noting. Goodwill gives us a receipt as well as other places we donate to, so I can do that. To me it really isn't about what I have in it as much as the family asked me to and I am honored to help in anyway. Having said that I am being very careful about my cost. As others have said, it may make sense to donate the money, but then the family didn't ask me to do that, they asked for a quilt for the auction. That they will get. I also plan to have a few smaller items as suggested to donate. Anything I can do to help them raise money for the medical bills I am happy to do graciously.
