You Got the Brains, We Got the (100lb) Brawn

In this edition of Wednesday Warmth I want to tell you about two young and able-bodied volunteers, Rene Rodriguez and Kate Edwards. Last week we got an "emergent call" that the spouse of a patient needed to raise some quick funds and thought she would have a garage sale within a day or two. 
Her husband, our patient, resided in a care center, but she was still in their home. 


Her goal: To empty the garage and make some fast money. 
Problem: How to get everything out of the garage and make it available for sale. 
Enter: Rene and Kate... a.k.a. "Agape Volunteer Movers!" 

The spouse felt she had the brains to run the sale, she just needed some brawn! No problem! Of course, neither Rene nor Kate weighs much more than a hundred pounds apiece, but they each gave up part of their Saturday to make the garage sale happen! And so it did! 

Thanks to our mighty movers and everyone on our fabulous team of volunteers....
