We met at the Boys and Girls Club of Meridian and were dispersed throughout the city to homes of elderly folks that
needed our help with raking their leaves. My husband and I worked with a team from the Meridian Kiwanis Club and
were sent out to 2 homes. At our second home, we met the sweetest 80 yr old woman that was so thrilled to have us help her.
Her backyard was filled with beautiful plants and trees and MANY ...did I say MANY leaves! We left nearly 18 bags of leaves on her curb upon completion.
Several kids happily raked and bagged along with the cutest 8 yr old foster boy named Levi. He had such a great attitude and it
brought me much joy and a smile to my face knowing that there are so many wonderful people that are willing to drop whatever they are doing on a frosty Saturday morning to assist those in need.
