donations for the raffle. '
i grabbed my 'ladies of the evening', crossed the blvd. and went from vendor to vendor chat'n em up.....telling them my story on the benefit that was being held and where the moneys were going to, inwhich a few of them replied...mychild/or neighbors child goes to that school. I didn't have to ask twice for a donation the vendor would bring us to their table and ask what should they donate with our replies 'anything of what you donate will be most appreciated'...
i could see it in their eyes and heart that they felt so proud to be able to help their community, in fact a few days after they would stop me as i walked to ask how the donations went and how much was raised. I had so many donations from the jamaican people themselves that i had to get a bag to carry it all in. DAMN....do i now tell them i have no idea where the money went ?? i feel TOTALLY embarrassed to actually face or ask those people AGAIN for any donations. I knew of the story but it was for sally and not me to let folks know exactly how things turned out at the Montana's..........................., not mine. pretty sad eh ??
