I’m really sorry about the loss of your mom. I’m sure a lot of people will appreciate the items you donate. If you don’t belong to a Buy Nothing Facebook group, they are great and the people come and get the stuff so you don’t have to wonder if it is sitting at Goodwill. Best of luck during this process, PP!

Thank you! I work with a charity that supports homeless women and DV victims in my city most of the things are going to. She was an XL so very common size they need. They are very happy to get basically all her clothes, especially as she bought mostly brands like LL Bean…sturdy, usable things. They will also get her enormous collection of hotel toiletries and lots of shelf stable food. I am actually driving the things 2,000 miles from her wealthy, not needy community to mine, where they can do more good. I know she would be glad! U-Haul to the rescue!

I'm using everything I have first before buying anything. I'm also downgrading some clothes with holes in them that are now rags to clean my car with. I will not buy any new clothes unless I don't have anything else that works. Rotate all your "stock" for everything. Use it first. If you get some thing get rid of something else.

Sorry about your mom. <3
