Comment by Dede on October 12, 2009 at 10:23pm: Stacie .. you are a gem. You certainly deserve a halo and so much more for what you have been through.

Comment by Berniceann Burns on September 27, 2009 at 1:53pm: When my daughter was born, we weren't quite prepared. She was a month early, and I had had a rough pregnancy (kept going into early labor from 20 weeks on, and she was delivered at 32 weeks).

My friends with children literally when through their closets and helped me out. I marked all the tags so I could give the items back, and took very good care to pre-soak any stains, etc...

Their acts of kindness inspired me to start my own charity. Today, one of the accomplishments of which I am most proud is Madelyn's Closet.

It is a closing exchange where people bring in their gently used, out grown, or unwanted clothing and take home, free of charge, clothing that fits. It is ideal for families on a budget who have growing children or for adults who, do to life changes, health issues, etc..., have found themselves without proper attire.
