You are an inspiration. My thanks for opening my eyes to not only those people in need, but the culture that I only read about. Now, thanks to you, I have a greater understanding. Blessings to you during this holiday season and the year to come.

I am an identical twin and my sister runs www.thecouponclippers.com and enables my doing the Christmas outreach by raising a lot of money via her customers. :) She helps tons of people, but she's seen the poor here....

The difference between the poor in Poland and the poor in the states. Well, let me just say the really, really poor in Poland are thin. Why? Because they live "hungry". I was in a lady's home yesterday (delivering some diapers to her 3 months old twins) and 7 of them live in 20 square meters. (That's just over 200 square feet.) I'm not sure I know many Americans who live in such conditions. Oh yes--they have no running water and use a bucket for a toilet. She uses an outside hand pump to get the water she needs to do her laundry (she heats her water on the stove first and washes by hand in a plastic tub.) Of course, they have no car and she has to walk 1/2 mile (maybe) to the bus stop--no small feat with two 3-month-olds. By comparison, the average "poor" person in the states is quite rich.

The ladies seemed to really appreciate the quilts, even though you may not have considered them "pretty". They are truly needed. As many others have said, beauty is in the syes of the beholder. That you for helping these people in need. The information you have posted has been very enlightening.

I'm sure with the hard winter there keeping warm is the first thing on people's minds. It is great that you are doing something to help these women.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.
