In need of children's clothes for some of my students....
I work at an Elementary school in Arlington teaching science to K-6 graders. The majority of our students come from a VERY low income setting and it is very sad at times seeing the way some of our kids live. Last Tuesday, a parent with 3 children at our school, commited suicide. Dad was not really in the picture. They lived with their mom, and aunt/uncle. The grandparents have also had custody of them in the past. They do not have much stability in their lives at all. Usually the only meals they get are breakfast and lunch at school, because there was no food at home. I often times give them food to take home and share, knowing that they would have something to eat that evening. We took up a donation at my campus the day we found out about it and took them $100 in groceries and a few gift cards.
I am not here to ask for money, but rather any clothes or shoes that you may have, that your children have outgrown. They are in need of shoes and pants the most. This year the 3rd grader told me that all he wanted for Christmas was some new shoes. He only had one pair and they were so old, the soles were coming off and the shoes had holes in them. If you have ANY clothes that have been outgrown, and you wouldn't mind donating them to help these kids during this time of crisis, PLEASE let me know. I am in Arlington, but if you have anything to donate, I will arrange to pick it up as soon as I can. My weeks are crazy right now as school is winding down, but I would like to get some things together for this family.
I will post the kids ages and sizes below with the info I have right now. I am going to get the shoe sizes from them tomorrow.
Sixth...size 16 Husky, large shirt (boy)
Third...size adult small t-shirt(was a little big on him though), 12-14 pants, shoes size 4 (boy, needs pants)
Second...10-12, shoes size 3 (boy)
3 year old...size 3t, shoes 9-9 1/2(girl)
If you are able to help out with any of the items, please contact me and I will make arrangements with you. If you do not have anything to donate, I completely understand. Just please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers. No children should have to find their mother dead and go through all the pain and suffering afterwards. Thanks for taking the time to read.
