I'm sorry but I'm disabled and cannot get out and that's not fair to us elderly people or poor folks without a car that can't make it up there.
Past Christmas Mothers come together to celebrate Becky Perkins, 2023 Christmas Mother!❤️
The first volunteer meeting will be Oct 30.
Congratulations Becky!
