Homeless student in need of clothes!

Hey everyone! I haven't posted in so long - I don't often have time to read - but we got an email at work today that I really had to respond to. The text of that email follows: Today, we had a student approach the nurse's office hungry and in need of clothes. He is homeless and has been living out of a car. With the help of his counselor and the health aide, he has been signed up for the homeless program. He is in desparate need of clothes. He wears a size 3x - 4x top, 38-40 slacks and 13 1/2 - 14 shoe. If you would like to donate clothing or a cash donation, please see his counselor, Ms. Leak or Ms. Hines, health aide for further information. Your assistance is most appreciated. I was hoping some of my friends back in Michigan might be able to help this kid. I emailed his counselor and we may be able to take up a small collection to pay for the shipping to have a box of clothes sent down to Nevada... Email me if you think you can help at [email protected]. Thank you all!!! Hugs, Jules

Hi Jules, Nice to hear from you again. This story saddens me and my heart goes out to any kid in this situation. I have men's clothes (jeans, dress pants and t-shirts) in those sizes. I would really like to help more. Email me any information. I will pay to ship these items to him.

hey you ms 'd' where you been? was just coming to see if you had been on . . I dont get on here much anymore . . . I seem to have really lost touch with the outside world. Hopefully when the kiddo goes to kindergarten in the fall, that will change

Hi Heather, I have been so busy with work and on top of that, I have decided to go back to school and apply for medical school next year . It is really good to hear from you too...been out-of-touch with my WLS family lately. I usually have time every couple of days to read, but don't often get a chance to add anything new. I remember the days of having young children and can relate to your situation. Mine is 12, going on 25 soon...lol. I hope that you are doing well in all aspects of your life!! I gained some weight while I was not exercising for a few months because of back pain, but since I had a panniculectomy a couple months ago, I have started to exercise again and did lose that weight again. I still want to lose another 16 pounds to get to normal BMI, but am taking it a day at a time and just trying to make healthy choices. Write back when you get a chance, I find your life and journey so interesting. Dorothy

hey you! i would have galdly given some if i could--just wanted to say I hope the best for the student--and for you . . .

Jules so good to see you! Wish I had something to send your student. Been meaning to write you! Hope all is well?? Deb
