Small Town Love

Dear Harmony and Surrounding Communities,
Thank you.  We are deeply moved by the outpouring of support you have shown our family this weekend.  This weekend we held our multi-family garage sale in Harmony, MN where all funds raised went to pay for Charlie's Autism service dog.  We had at least 5 families participate in our sale with several people donating items as well.  It was a great weekend for a garage sale, the weather was perfect.

The sale was advertised the week before by word of mouth, flyers around the community as well as an article in the Bluff Country Newspaper.  The sale was attended by many and we rarely had a lull in either day of the sale.  I helped at the sale all weekend while my husband watched our boys and taking them on various adventures.  I was brought to tears several times when people would stop by and say they were praying for us, so excited for us or even a couple people stopped to say they had been looking for our sale just to stop by and donate money to our cause.

We were amazed at the end result of the fundraiser sale.  A few small communities came together and made a huge difference.  Because of all of you, we raised $1747 in two days.  Words cannot express how incredibly thankful we are to all of you who helped make that possible.  Thank you.
