Through a school project on child development, I initially found out about this nonprofit…read moreorganization. After getting pregnant, I enrolled in their classes, which were helpful before giving birth. During my postpartum period, I attended "Mommy and Me" and "Family and Me" classes. In "Mommy and Me," I had Ms. Lety, who welcomed me warmly everyday in her class. With her experience and education, she listened to and understood us new mom. Since her class was full, I took a class with Ms. Gaby instead. Unfortunately, it was unpleasant. I felt like she tried too hard to be liked and understand our perspective, but judged me harshly instead. Her vibe seemed off, like she was hiding her true self. I wouldn't recommend her class. Not to mention, other moms also felt the same way towards Ms. Gaby, that they also mention they dropped or stopped going to her class. I thought it was just me. However, Larissa's visits were helpful throughout my motherhood journey. I'm grateful for her hard work over the past two years. She's the best, and my daughter loves her.

Back in the day, I did use to own a ton of tools to fix up my bikes but I left the sport and got rid of most of them. I recently bought a vintage bike off marketplace and just wanted to swap out the pedals to grippy flats. I ended up destroying 3 wrenches and wrecked my knuckles trying to get one pedal that appeared to be welded to the crank set. Nothing I did worked, so I decided to come here instead. I love the whole concept of this place. It is a community hub to go and get your bike taken care of. They have a ton of old parts available and it is incredibly cheap. I was able to use shop time at $15 an hour and the volunteers helped me fix up my bike and provide tips on how to fix things up. Nobody was able to get the pedal off, so I was able to buy a used crank set for like $5. Insane. I don't think I could have beaten that hunting for deals in fb marketplace. They're a great nonprofit and they sell a ton of used bikes as well. Out the door, with the parts, and shop time, I was only out $40. With the time, I was able to swap out the bottom bracket with a good used one, used crank set, and true 4 wheels. Insane. Normally at a bike shop that probably would have been a few hundred dollars to have a mechanic do it. I would highly recommend anyone who is handy and wants to learn how to wrench on a bike come here.

Make sure you login to the website and checkout locations and dates and register yourself for openings. It's great to come with family, friends or coworker. They have many different ways you can volunteer your time or just put a shoebox together and drop it off at a processing location. We had a good time joining a team on the floor and were given a little training and we went to work for a couple of hours. My first job was to scan shoe boxes that people had donated and wanted it tracked. It was kinda boring as those were infrequent so I switched over to checking shoe boxes that were donated making sure they didn't have certain items not permitted in the box. After awhile I switch to taping boxes shut after the inspection process which worked out fine as I was constantly working. Checkout the website and see how you can help. https://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/volunteer-network/

So my family first started participating in this organization's Operation Christmas Child a few…read moreyears ago and it's now become a family tradition with us even filling up shoe boxes at home to bring to the processing center and volunteering at the actual processing center. For those who aren't familiar with Sumaritan's Purse, they are a Christian-base nonprofit that provides aids to areas of need here in the U.S and third world countries. They were actually one of the first responders to bring aid to rural areas that were hit by a big typhoon in Central Vietnam in 2017. Air lifting over 200,000 POUNDS of supplies to the villagers who have lost everything. Operation Christmas Child is one of their projects that takes place from Nov-Dec. You can watch one of their videos of this operation on YouTube. Which was how I found them actually. The idea is that you take a shoe box and decorate it and fit anything you can into a shoe box for a child in a third world country (socks, soap, toothbrushes, hair brushes, a small toy, pens, pencil).And then you can drop off the shoe boxes at their processing center by a certain deadline (and if you pay for a tracking label) you can track where your shoe box may end up. OR you can sign up to volunteer during the holidays at the processing center to inspect the shoe boxes or even stuff shoe boxes (companies donate supplies that you can put into boxes). The whole operation is so efficient , to watch one group inspect, one group stuff more gifts in light boxes, one group tape and one group organize the shoeboxes into bigger boxes with tracking labels is really a sight to behold. EVERYONE that you come across are EXCEEDINGLY nice and gracious, from the parking attendant, to the front desk/lobby people to the people running the warehouse. I do understand how Sumaritan's Purse could come as "too much" for people who are not Christians who wants to help. However, I think this organization is truly doing something not just special but extremely meaningful that could change a child's life in a small village some where in the world. With a simple gift from a stranger a world away, to let the child know that they matter, and you you could also include a letter if you wish. Sumaritan's Purse really goes out of their way to deliver the shoeboxes into rural areas often times using elephants to do so! Operation Christmas Child only goes on from Nov to mid Dec (before Christmas because they have to get the shoeboxes out of the U.S. before than)! Cheers!
