When we purchased new choir robes, we quickly realized that the old robes still had some life left in them. Though some were in better condition than others, we just couldn't be wasteful and toss them in the trash can. An attempt was made to sell them for a reasonable price, but it seemed no one was interested. Several weeks later we received an email from Dr. Carol Raines-Brown of the Making A Difference Together Foundation asking if we would be willing to donate the robes to their children's choir. A bit of inquiry revealed that this non-profit program was to benefit children and engage them in the educational process through the use of drama, music, reading, literacy and the arts. Dr. Raines-Brown said the robes would be altered to fit as necessary and would be such a blessing to her not-for-profit organization. And, of course, she would arrange to have them picked up, and pay for postage as well.

In a few days off they went via UPS, on to a new life. Into the lives of children who need a break and will receive the guidance of good role models to help them become successful adults.
